so last night when i got home and actually sat down and read my motherboard manual.

it states: "for a fully configured system, we recommend that you use a power supply unit that provides a minimum of 600w."

"however, a 500w atx supply has been tested on this motherboard and it meets the requirements of this motherboard with the following hardware:

amd fx-62
1024 mb ddr2-800 (x4)
nvidia 7900gtx
sata hard disk (x2)
and dvd-rw."

and right now there is a sale for the antec sonata 3 cases in a computer store by my house, which come with a high efficiency 500w psu.

so seeing how i have hardware that requires less that this tested hardware pulls, i figured i should be fine.

i mean in any case this case comes with a psu for 110$ and it has way better airflow than what my current one has, and if i still end up needing more power i can always buy another psu down the road.

hopefully this solves my problem, i didnt have time to run it all last night since by the time i finished transferring all the hardware from my old rig to the new one it was almost 1am.
i will probably update this tonight if everything goes well.

edit: another question i had is, the chipset for the mobo and the video card are both nvidia, and it downloads this nvidia control center (or panel) which keeps prompting me to run its fine tune feature so it determines how hard to push all the components or whatever.
now im wandering if i should do this now with my new case and better psu? or should i leave it all as is incase if this stress test makes it go over my psu capacity and crash it all over again?

oh and chuck, this was evident to me on the 2nd day which was sunday Smile
