Bad Power Supply?

[spikoman69]

My system is running a sub-par raidmax PSU that I got in a combo deal with my case, I planned on upgrading eventually, but it may be time to NOW. I've been experiencing random freezing of windows, even when not under any load, thats what I mean by completely random. Also, sometimes when I shut down, it will not even load to the bios screen at all until I kill the power switch on the PSU, let it sit, then flip it back on and attempt to boot the machine again. I've even underclocked everything in the system to stock settings to lower power draw but I am still experiencing the same issues.

Does this sound like a power supply issue?

Sure does. You'll be lucky if it didn't damage any components.

Hmmm not good. What could it have possibly damaged?

It could damage anything from CPU and motherboard to GPU and HDDs. Bad power or huge ripple can cause damage to any electronic device. I would start by replacing the PSU ASAP then go from there.
