Hello, I’m experiencing problems with my computer; it frequently freezes or shuts down completely when I attempt to play games. Here’s a breakdown of my system specifications:

Power Supply Unit: Corsair vs450
Processor: AMD Phenom 2 1090T 6-core with a Cooler Master cooler
Graphics Card: Nvidia 550ti
Hard Drive: 2TB
Memory: 2x4GB

My machine functions normally in all other applications, but games cause crashes within a short time. I’m seeking information on what might be causing this issue.

The power supply unit might be the problem. Your graphics card requires 400 watts, meaning your current one offers very little headroom. I would have selected an 850-watt PSU, not only for your present configuration but also to accommodate any future upgrades to a more powerful computer. This would eliminate concerns about your PSU and ensure it has an 80+ efficiency rating.

Perhaps the issue stems from your computer lacking sufficient power to operate them properly?

They operate satisfactorily, with frame rates remaining high, however, they become unresponsive after a short period. Despite hardware improvements to the power supply and CPU cooler, the problem persists. It’s possible that insufficient electrical power is being delivered. Additionally, they generate significant heat, which might be contributing to the issue.

What’s the maximum level? Did you increase the speed of any components?

I’m unsure. This online resource evaluates various power units, allowing you to examine them. I possess a G. Skill power supply, however, it hasn’t been assessed by reviewers at this time.
