    I suspect CPU overtemping is your problem not power supply. Worth having a look though at the voltages, particularly 12 V in your BIOS hardware monitoring menu. Motherboards don't always read the voltage correctly but if it's fluctuating a lot it could point to your psu as being the cause of your problem.

    :cool:

    core temp seems quite high 85-86 and 86-91
    I'm not surprised the machine is locking up, that is way too hot.
    Remember kids, it's the volts that jolt and the mills that kill.

    a driver was causing the crashing (found in the minidump file after a crash) uninstalled it now and it's fine, the software was called rapport

    I always thought that software was evil, but for different reasons :mad:

    well found alex, another reason to add to the list of "why NOT to use rapport" ;)
