No Greeney hehe, I meant this:

For example, 450+ watts is needed by the computer, 350 watts is the rated output of the PSU, the PSU has to work harder to supply sufficient power, the parts inside the PSU heat up because of this, and either/all of three things can happen. Parts in the PSU burn out and your computer stops functioning all together (until a new PSU is bought). Too much heat builds up in the PSU, causing the BIOS to shut the computer down to prevent damage. Finally, insufficient power is supplied by the PSU, and this causes a fatal error which makes your computer restart or shutdown.

The RAM issue I had mentioned, was what I thought the problem was, after looking up the error code on the microsoft knowledge base. I was incorrect, it was my PSU, it had nothing to do with my RAM.

Oh gotya. Well that seems logical. I wasn't trying to say you were wrong. I was just trying to clarify that
Quote:
As the head has explained....as your motherboard fills up the ram the power will surely be drained filling more of the ram..........more power = more strain on the psu if the psu drops voltage due to over use then the motherboard will resetby default to stop any damage being occured
was not what I had meant by what I typed a few posts ago.
