If your computer is unstable, restarts for no apparent reason, the problem may be a weak power supply. You need to calculate the total power of all devices in the system unit to choose the right power supply unit.
Instructions
Step 1
You can find out what type of components are installed in the computer using the CPU-Z program. Download and run the program. In the tabs CPU, Memory, Mainboard and Graphics, you can see the type of processor, memory, motherboard and video card. If you need a complete report on the configuration of the system unit, in the About tab, in the Tools section, click the Save Report button. Specify the folder to save the report
Step 2
There are other programs that can help you determine the configuration of your computer, such as Everest. On the left side of the screen, click to open the "Computer" group and select the "Summary information" item from the list. To create a report, go to the "Report" menu. You can use the "Report Wizard" option or immediately create a *.txt or *.html fil
Step 3
There are many resources on the Internet that will help you calculate the total power consumption of your system unit, for example, Power Calculator https://www.coolermaster.outervision.com. Choose the type of device from the lists offered by the program. After entering the data, click the Calculate button in the lower right corner. The program will give recommendations for choosing the power supply unit power
Step 4
There is a similar Russian-language site from Asus technical support: https://support.asus.com.tw/powersupplycalculator/pscalculator.aspx?slanguage=ru-ru. The values are added automatically as you enter data.
Step 5
You can calculate the power consumption of the system unit manually. The power consumption is indicated on the websites of component manufacturers. Knowing the configuration of your computer, summarize these figures.
Step 6
However, keep in mind that overclocking increases power consumption. Consider peak loads as well. For example, modern games with 3D graphics and heavy graphics programs significantly increase the power consumption of the video card compared to idle power consumption - from 50 to 150 watts. With this in mind, add 100 watts to the rated power of the power supply as a safety factor.
