StudioBlueGames Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Okay, so here is the situation. On the PC version of Skyrim, we start a new game. The game starts with the ride int eh cart, the titles on the screen. About 30 seconds into the game's introduction, the computer just turns off, as if someone unplugged it. There is a brand new video card in there, upgraded RAM, etc. Here are the system specs: Phenom II 2.0 Ghz Quad CoreNvidia GTX 550 Ti250W PSU8 GB DRMM3 RAM All the drivers are updated, Direct X is installed properly, etc. Any pointing in the right direction would be lovely!

ianpatt Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 If the computer turns off completely, most likely you're overloading the power supply. 250W is pretty lean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you then say I'd need something like a 500W? Or should I spring for a 750W? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
