^ Thank you SOULphIRE and when played the only one that raised more than 2 or 3 degrees was the tmpn1. It was around 58c. Is that really hot? i just put two new fans in the case that are bettter rpm.

tmpn1, I believe, is your northbridge chip. That is known to run hot.

 

[ThomasWeimer]

hmm. any idea why my computer would just randomly kick the screen off then reboot then?

 

[MindoverMaster]

Could possibly be a GFX problem. Try downloading FurMark. See if you get any pixels while running it. Watch your temps, too.

Could be your RAM, too.

It looks like the Power Supply is crap.

 

[ThomasWeimer]

hmm. its a new rocketfish 700 ps

 

[MindoverMaster]

Rocketfish sounds like an off-brand... probably the reason.

 

[ThomasWeimer]

Ohh, i tohught it was good. hmm. whats brand you suggest. and ill get a 800 watt for safe incase i update someday

The Rocketfish 700 is a piece of crap. Here's a link to a Rocketfish RF-700WPS 700 watt review from HardOCP.

To be honest you don't need a 700 or a 800 watt power supply. You just need a well made, reliable power supply from a company with excellent customer service if you do have a problem.

I think this 650 watt power supply is all you need, $79.99 after a rebate.

If you just want to go overboard then this 750 watt power supply is $99.99 after a rebate.
