I have a i7 system and im having big problems with my PSU. Every so often I get a lockup and after checking Event Viewer it says
"Event ID 41 Kernal-Power, system failed to shutdown properly"
I am guessing it has something to do with the power supply as it makes a clicking sound from time to time as well. I ordered a new PSU from Dabs to see if replacing it made a diffrence, however it failed totaly after 3 mins running windows. It died with sparks and the loudest bangs ive ever heard from any electronic device. It kinda reminded me of fireworks night here in the UK lol
I panic a little thinking my whole PC might have fried but it booted up fine with the old PSU lol.
Either Im very lucky that my PC didnt die in a fire or im unlucky with power supplies, depends how you look at it lol.
I need a good quality PSU (Modular if possible) around 6-800watts. Any ideas?
