How To Upgrade Power Supply
Oct 31, 2011
My original problem, i am sure is my power suplly, I have just upgraded to the cross hair V main board. My computer has been restarting randomly during intensive game play. it didn't do this before my upgrade. Secondly as i have said above i currently have a 500w PSU. I am thinking of upgrading to the antec High Current Gamer 750 watt. I have filled in the system specs. do you think it will run my computer perfectly. also i will be getting 16GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM and an ATI 6970 will the antec PSU be enough?

A standby machine that I have is having trouble starting. When first turned on, it will attempt a start, drive lights fans etc come on then within 3 seconds, go out and repeat. This does this for about 5-6 iterations and then starts normal and will run until turned off. This system has one HDD, one DVD drive, MB graphics, so I don't think there is much of a load.

I'm having some strange problems with my PSU. My computer went black last night while I was playing GTA IV. After some research on the web, I came to a conclusion that my PSU died. I attempted the paperclip trick with no success - fans didnt do anything. I was about ready to start shopping for a new one, plugged everything back into places, when I saw a red 115V/230V switch on the back. I switched it from default 115V to 230V and tried the paperclip test again. This time the fan on the back of the case (not PSU) started spinning, and lights on the front and the green light on CD-ROM lit up. I plugged the 24 pin connector back into the motherboard, and hit the on switch (still with 230V), and the same thing happened.From what I described above, what do you think has gone wrong with my PC? And why is PSU acting the way it is?

I replaced my power supply and now I get a 0x80070035 error when trying to map my network storage server. I've had this mapped for over a year, and usually just need to enter the password to re-connect after a re-boot. I've tried disabling the firewall, anti-virus, file and printer sharing, etc. I looked for the extra network entries that others have said to delete, but I don't have any.
This computer is running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. The network storage server is running Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. From the 32 bit machine the 64 bit machine shows up, even in explorer.
From the 64 bit machine the 32 bit does not show up except under the Network and sharing center, selecting "see full map" shows both machines.
I can't see how changing a power supply could cause a problem. I tried going back to a restore point from last week in case a "windows update" caused the problem, which did not show up until the latest re-boot, but that did not help either.

Right I have a 550ti but only a 300w power supply. My performance is shocking on it. Is this cause my power supply? It's recommended to have a 400w +. Also my processor is only at like 70-80% use.

I am starting to think I may have a power supply issue and none of the programs I use seem to monitor it correctly or the power supply is bad. I have been using TOverclocker (came with my Biostar MB), Speccy, Everest, HWinfo64, HWinfo32 and SpeedFan. None of these give me consistent measurements or measure the voltages wrong from opening the program. Is there a monitor program out there that is very good at measuring power supply voltages. My MB is a Biostar TZ68A+.

I've got a gateway model computer I want to upgrade, but I need a 400W power supply for the card I'm buying, should I be worried about a new power supply being incompatible for any reasons with my computer?

Through a clean install I switched to Windows 7 last week. Today being the 6th day since I switched, the computer has frozen 4 times. Of the 4 times, one was just a sudden power down without a proper shutdown.
Through event viewer, the log suggested an error dealing with power supply.
Since I've noticed that multiple PCs on different processors are seeing the same error, I would like to know if there have been any fixes released for this yet.
Anybody solve this yet?

My brother needs a video card but me being the smart one here. I got his info from dxdiag and I need a recommendation for two things , a video card and power supply. His current power supply runs at a max of 250w and it seems low, mine being 500w so its the right thing to upgrade in order to get a video card. keep video card recommendations "single slot" only since I have no idea how to hook up a video card to a power supply. Single slot ones are simple.

Here is my current build:
[code]....
Ever since I changed my power supply from an Orion 480W to my current Cooler Master power supply, my pc will not sleep. It initiates sleep but then immediately turns back on and boots to the login screen. I have tried everything! From powercfg in cmd to changing the seetings on the motherboard in bios, and disabling all hardware from waking my system up to changing the power supply settings in windows. I am considering doing a reinstall of windows

If the computer is shut down and disconnected from the power supply for about 5 hours or longer I get a bluescreen right after the windows boot screen. Otherwise it starts without problems and works fine. My workaround for the problem after long shut down is to switch on the power supply, then immediately switch it off and then on again. This works always fine!
My System:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit SP1
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 4GB (2x2) 1333-777 RAM ATI Radeon HD 5570
Blue Screen: *** STOP: 0x0000001E (0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000)
I already used all of the windows debugging, diagnostic tools and Memtest but without success.

My computer keeps shutting itself down with the following error message:
"Power surges detected during the previous power on. ASUS anti-surge was triggered to protect the system from unstable power.......(see below for photo of screen).
So I bought a UPS in the hopes of controlling the flow of power to my computer. Unfortunately that didn't work so I assumed that the power supply unit must be broken. I have replaced it and I am still getting the crash/error. So I simply disabled the feature on teh motherboard that controls anti-surge protection and now my computer simply crashes and powers down.
I have checked the event logs and noticed this being logged right before the crash every time:
"File System Filter 'aswSnx' (6.0, 2012-03-07T01:04:05.000000000Z) has successfully loaded and registered with Filter Manager."

My desktop does not detect and external hard drive that do not come with their own power supply. I have many externals that also plug into the wall and they are working fine; but whenever it is an external without a plug, i.e. the portable ones they are never found.
They do not show up in Computer Management, so it is not because I did not assign a letter to the drive.
I have tried various things, but I don't know what I should be testing for or looking for. These externals all work on other laptops and other desktops perfectly fine so it is not the externals. When they are plugged into my desktop, they light up normally like they should, but the desktop never detects them. I have tried these externals with the different USB cable I have on hand, but nothing seems to work. It doesn't matter which USB port I plug the device in, it still gives me no response.
I am running a i7 860 on a ASUS P7P55D Pro.

I installed a power supply and removed the floppy disk from a Dell Optiplex GX520. Now when I turn it on, it says there is no serial ATA SATA-2 nor parallel ATA, Path=0 (Pri Master.) Everything is working so I don't know what the problem is.

Today I got 2 new 4GB sticks of Corsair Vengeance Blue RAM to go with the 8GB I already have in my system (same RAM as well). After all 4 sticks were installed, my computer failed to power on properly. It would power on for about 5-6 seconds then shut off, and continuously try to start up again, only to shut back down. I did have a few minor overclocks in place so I went into BIOS and reset everything back to default, but the computer still refuses to power on with all 4 sticks in place. I've tried different combinations of the 4 sticks and they all work fine as long as all 4 aren't hooked up at the same time. My PSU is 650W if that helps. I really doubt 2 additional sticks of RAM is making much difference in power usage.
Note: As to why I need/want 16GB of RAM, I play around with Photoshop + do some video editing in After Effects and Premiere, and I found myself maxing out the 8GB I had rather easily.

I've done a lot of searches using variations of the above title and came up empty or just plain missed the answer.I'd like to know, if it is not asking too much, the following points:
1. What exactly is the function of Link State Power Management in the Power Options Advanced Settings, PCI Express?
2. What are the implications of using the options available:
a) Off.
b) Maximum power savings.
c) Moderate power savings.
d) Which option is the best selection for my Dell laptop.

I use my PC for audio production and I have a few external controller devices that are USB powered, for example a midi keyboard. I recently had to build PC due to a theft....long story short after building the new PC I've noticed that my USB buses have continual power to these external devices after I've powered down the PC. My old windows 7 PC did not do this. Is there a setting I can change to shut off power to the USB buses when I power off the PC? Or is this a hardware issue?

Over the past 2 years my PC has been afflicted with random power off/power on/reboot events.It will go for months without these and then have multiples of the events in a day. (I had 8 of them 3 days ago.)I assume I have a hardware problem, but nothing has been found and I'm grasping at straws.The time between power off and power on is several seconds.I had assumed this rules out a software cause, but maybe I'm wrong. I know Windows can schedule a power off, but can it tell BIOS (or something) to power back on in a few seconds?I know blaming the power supply is a much more simple explanation, but then I'm left with explaining the intermittent nature of the failure.
