A bit perplexed her fellas. My computer has been shutting off while playing cs go lately. Figured the shit old thermaltake tr2 600w was kill. So i buy this supernova p2 and drop it in and now i am getting a big fps drop every 2 seconds. Any chance it's an issue with my new psu? I am running what was a overclocked a 50 dollar mobo with an amd fx chip for 2 years and recently reverted it to stock because the shut off. I dont know if its mobo or cpu dying but it was running smooth before the nee psu.

>thermaltake
Found your problem.
Unless your video driver crashes, or you loose your display device, I doubt its a PSU issue.
Run memtest
make sure all fans are working, nothing overheating, no excess dust
monitor temps while gaming. use speccy
>Any chance it's an issue with my new psu?
Probably not. Run MSI afterburner in the background and monitor GPU and CPU usage, temperature and clocks while playing games.
Do all the other shit first like updating your drivers, removing overclock on GPU, etc.

I have completely reinstalled my nvidia drivers twice and reinstalled. Reseated my video card and pulled my c-mos and completely hard reset my mobo. reseated my mobo and cpu connection. and my temps are fine. My gtx 970 is hardly utilized. It's so weird, I get the skip every second or two, but otherwise the fps is fine. It's like it gets hung on something periodically. Outside of any game it is running normally.

Anyone else have any ideas before the thread dies?
might be hard drive related. i had a problematic drive that would cause games to hiccup. move your games to a different drive and see if the problem persists

asshole, we gave you solutions to try. dont fucking post back here until you tried them all, and post results you fucking ungrateful cunt.

The only thing i didnt do that was recommended i this thead is run memtest you stupid cunt

I'll have to double check that. I may be running on my old hard drive that would be likely to fail that this point.

>Big fps drop
How much? From 100 fps to 10 for example?
Anyways, that doesn't look like psu related. If it would be the psu, your pc would have turned off.
My bets are something from the motherboard (have you touched something from the bios you didn't have to? Try resetting everything to default), or else, drivers from the gpu.
