It honestly depends on the load the PSU is being forced upon. If your system load is too much for the power supply during operation, your system will probably power down or reboot. If it's too insufficient for powering the system up, it won't start up at all.

quoted the wrong post

Would the PSU overheat, forcing it to power down?
Because when i play demanding games, my computer overheats and powers down, PSU being the hottest component.

Very short story of the douchebag who had to reinstall vista due to DRM:

Vista was causing huge problems and computer was overheating at desktop *cough securom cough* and constantly BSODs.
Reinstalling vista using the stuffty Dell DVD fixed it, but then i realized, it's a loving barebone vista install.
There was no drivers, period.
Couldn't download drivers for the computer because I couldn't find the model and to my luck, i found a driver DVD.
Installed that motherforgeter and what do i get?
Oh, just a menu that has a hidden extract button, wanna know why?
Oh, the computer was running at 800x600 and there was no scroller, Dell definitely tried on that one. /sarcasm
So, I plugged in a SD card into my laptop and started downloading NVIDIA drivers and plugged the SD card into the desktop, to my unsurprise it didn't work.
USB POWER GO!
Plugged in the camera and used it like a USB flash drive.
Installed NVIDIA drivers and maxed out resolution (1440xsomething, i assume 800) and installed the drivers, network and everything regained.

End story.

Installed some games and it overheated on the medium-high end games. Blockland worked fine apparently.
stuff.
If a new PSU doesn't work, then all this computer would be good for is an outrageously fast DVD burner, no errors either.

Notes for the story:
People say vista takes 2 hours to install, yet i installed it in 30 minutes on a somewhat weak computer (AMD Athlon (not athlon II) x2 at something Ghz)

I have a NVIDIA 9800GT paired with a 350 watt PSU.

Before reinstallation, computer took like 40-50 bar passes to start up. (1-2 minutes to start up)
Now it only takes 2-3 passes. (4-5 if updating, which is less then 10 seconds and around 10-15 seconds on update startup)

I think I should go to Newegg and purchase a new PSU, maybe a 450 watt since I wont be upgrading this stuffputer.

What would happen if your computer uses too many watts for your PSU to handle?

Download it, install it, update it, full scan.
Problem solved if your computer is not a richard.

That is, if the problem continues.

some have managed to crawl out of the holes they've dug before

About 9.5% of the dumbasses/trolls who dug holes crawled out.
That's a very small chance, If he actually does crawl out, I'll be very impressed.
But, he sure acts like a troll, just ignore him, there's no better action.

because forget my thread and the stupids in it.

i need a gpu.

diablo 3
css
cs:go
torchlight 2
borderlands
and bl i guess

don't really need the best one because i don't really play anything besides those games.

gib recomendayshun

Budget?
I'm thinking about $85 in which i could grab a GPU at that price.

Found something: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121442
This should max out Diablo 3 at least.

I'm not criticizing it. I just find it hard to believe that a clone of Diablo is going to be better than Diablo.

Torchlight is made by the veterans of Diablo II.
The old developers got kicked out of blizzard because Diablo III looked like crap.

Diablo III may as well not be called Diablo, because it is a mostly if not entirely different game.

I find Diablo III to be a very good game, and find it hard that Torchlight II beats it.

You do realize that Torchlight II isn't released, right?

You have no place to criticize a game before release, Perfect World is learning from its cons so this could be easily better then Diablo III.
