Specs:
Processor: i5 2500k @3.7 Ghz (10% OC)
Mobo: P8Z68-V LX
GPU: nVidia Geforce 560 ti
PSU: 600w OCZ
RAM: 8gb (4x2gb) 1600 mhz Corsair
Cooler: COOLER MASTER 212+
1 TB Hard Drive

Problem:
Whenever I try to livestream, I constantly crash. It happens anywhere from 3 minutes to about 20 minutes of streaming. I checked my CPU temps and they stay around 45C do temperature isn't a problem. It's not XSplit, either, because I had my computer crash from simply playing Batman: Arkham City, as well. Now, the crashes outside of XSplit are RARE, but they DO happen and it annoys me. The crashes from XSplit, however, constantly happens. Do I need a better psu?? I don't understand why my computer would constantly crash during a livestream and very rarely crash (Once out of a blue moon) during normal use. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
PSU 600watt is low

give me 2mins to sketch out your watt

Your cpu overclocked will be using about 10% of 95watt =9.5, your cpu is 95watt without overclock so I've added 10 so now

Cpu : 105watt
ram:24watt
[FONT=verdana,geneva] GPU in FULL Stress: 449watt
harddrives im not sure how much they use but it won't be alot

i'd upgrade to a 850watt and i highly doubt you'll get this crash again

850w?! LOL I figured my psu was pretty low, but don't you think 850w is overkill? Can't I settle for something like a 750w? Or even a 700w?
Thanks for your input, though :D
 
I don't actually think it's overkill, if anything it's underkill, now a days theirs 1,000+ watt and I think buying one is for future use.. I personally would go for 850+
 
True that....I SHOULD get a good one in case I ever wanna save money and use it for future builds. Thanks!
