I haven't ranted about my computer for a while

Guess what, my computer is at it again and it shuts itself down if I dare to make it work a little, be it launch TF2, play Stepmania or watch Youtube videos.

Anyone else think that this is a Power Supply issue?

i had the same exact issue with my machine a while back, turns out that antec isn't a good brand for PSUs anymore, they use shitty taiwanese capacitors and the caps in mine blew. it would restart every time i put a load on the GPU and occasionally just crash.

If anybody is interested, Corsair make good PSUs. Their TX series won a bunch of awards. I have a TX powering my rig and it's rock solid.
