Oliver Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 My computer sometimes freezes (blue/grey/black screen with NO error code or any kind of text). It happens while normal tasks like surfing the web, youtube, but also while playing lol or while i am away botting. My computer: i7 4790k 16gb ram radeon r9 270x my power supply is a be quiet pure power L8 530 W Cable management is it too weak?
Rudie Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Should be fine, the power supply could be broken tho, which may cause these issues.
Tom Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 You're cutting it pretty close oliver, with that CPU and GPU youd probably want a 650 PSU 1

Your 550 should be fine, but cutting it pretty close to not enough, the only reason is suggest going up to 650 is to compensate for any additional parts you have running, e.g. amount of harddrives, LED's, little things like that. As well as your CPU being pretty high end. I have pretty much the same specs but i run a 750 PSU. The PSU could be causing the problem, have you tried running the PC in Safemode with Networking? You should be able to run a bot still, which will let you confirm if its hardware of software related Edited February 24, 2017 by Tom 1

If you just want to be safe you have enough power, buy a 600+ watts PSU, they don't cost THAT much to replace. Edited February 24, 2017 by Rudie

Ayylmao420 Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) psu is fine, seems more likely that something else is broke(might be the psu itself tho) Edited February 24, 2017 by Ayylmao420
Rudie Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Just now, Oliver said: any idea what else could cause the problem? It could still be the PSU despite it delivers enough power, you can test the power supply using a tool like this https://www.amazon.de/Netzteil-Tester-Netzteiltester-Diagnose-Computer/dp/B00ALNG5K0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1487944270&sr=8-2&keywords=power+supply+tester (you live in germany right?)
Oliver Posted February 24, 2017 Author Posted February 24, 2017 has anyone an idea how i can find the problem?

It would be wise to test every component individually before buying anything tho, for example, place the PSU in another system and see if the PC freezes aswell. 1
Stimpack Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 could also test ram to make sure its not a fault stick http://www.memtest.org/ 2
Zappster Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Your GPU, CPU and Ram (ddr4 2x8gb) take up 340 W. Your powersupply is fine. Check storage space/restart your pc (empty your ram)/make sure drivers are up to date. Edited February 24, 2017 by Zappster
Oliver Posted February 24, 2017 Author Posted February 24, 2017 anyone knows if this is legit? http://www.bluescreen-of-death.com/blue-screens/blue-screen-with-no-error-code.html
