Archer, I have moved your post from the tips and tricks sticky. Your post is now where you can actually get help. The other thread is for adding tips and tricks, not for answering your problems.
I think you need to upgrade your power supply. 400w of ? and 12v rails are only 13 and 14 amps. Time for a new one, more wattage and 12v rails at least 18A. |

Yeah I would say it is your PSU. 400W is very minimal for what you have, I would be looking at around 550W.
Good brand one also, So you know it will last and not die out and kill all your components. Something like Enermax, Thermaltake, OCZ, Tagan, Xcilo, Xion or Hyper. Power supply in the tower btw. |
