Sorry to make such a stupid mistake! I have just opened the case to find the power supply is a Corsair HX650w! Not 550w. I don't know what to think now. Is it possible there is still a need for more power headroom, as it were?

Thanks for the replies. I was thinking about the power as I was writing the specs down. I upgraded bit by bit so I was not thinking about the power requirements. Very silly of me. I will be investing in a new power supply. I am guessing it would be a good idea to get something future proof...

Thanks for the reply. I had a feeling it might be the power supply. I do wonder how much power the USB (powered) Focusrite Saffire 6 audio interface draws as well? "Have you tried removing specific USB devices to see if it helps?" I will try this tomorrow with only what I need (just keyboard...

Hello My desktop computers USB keep failing. By this I mean all USB devices plugged in stop working simultaneously (all except the keyboard). This happens 2 - 3 times a day. The Computer is about a year old now. It has only started doing this the last few weeks. Most of the time it...

First off I apologise for not responding to any of the above suggestions. I was away on a job and then away over Christmas. I still have not solved the problem. I have done a clean install on a brand new HDD. It worked fine for a while now exactly the same problem has happened. While writing...

Thanks for responding First off this is not a sound 'quality' issue. This is a problem I have never encountered before. I have tried all the USB ports on the back. I have tried going back to the onboard sound. I have tried the most up to date and older divers on all 3 sound options I...

Sound problems When I first put together the computer in question I used the on-board sound with no problems for many months. It is my work computer and is used for video and sound editing. I needed to get a better sound solution as the on-board sound was inadequate. I first bought a Asus...

It is a brand new build. Brand new HDD and clean install XP is on my old machine still

Thank for the prompt reply. I installed the latest W7 chipset drivers from the ASUS website. I have used the PC all day without any crashes. So it appears to have fixed the problem. However, I neglected to mention that originally I had two sets of the 6 GB memory kits for 12 GBs in...

Two weeks ago I built a brand new PC for work use (Adobe cs4 suite mainly). I was using XP 32 bit. I did not upgrade to Vista as I had no problems with XP. I wanted a 64 bit system so I could have access to more ram for HD video editing. Also I sometimes use a PC at a friend’s...
