brand New build - Fresh Windows Install - Hard Crashing, non events


Okay, Thank you. Ya, I'll buy a PSU at boxing day, regardless. No need to press this one so hard in the rare scenarios that it will get pressed. This also explains why when I was downloading two games from two game clients to two different NVMEs my computer would black screen.

I'm not sure how much research you did on FSP, but they are the manufacturers of everyone else's PSU. So, the brands that I would typically buy are made by these guys. Seasonic, silverstone, corsair..... I have a platinum 850 from Crosair right now, so I'm not sure what I have to lose....

In the end, there is engineering, nonsense, and common sense...

After comparing Silverstone designs vs Seasonic, I would go with Silverstone first, though, from what I've googled, FPS is the manufacturer of many boutique brands. this PSU being a titanium unit has to meet all the same criteria and requirements of other brands. there is no getting away from it.

So is Seasonic, and they have the highest efficiency and lowest ripple of... any manufacturer..
But whatever. The FSP is fine, but the Seasonic is just a bit better. :-)

Seems the culprit was a combination of OverClock settings that "should" have worked, and a power supply that wasn't fully appreciative of the new build, even though it worked fine for a more "power hungry" system build, being a 12700k.
