My friend has this problem with his power supply where it shuts off whenever gaming. I used to have this same problem until I switched the line voltages on my psu from 230v to 115v. In canada it should be at 115v. but if his psu doesn't have the red switch the volts, how do I change the volts or is it even possible?How to configure line voltages on a power supply?
It may not be switchable. Read the label and it should tell you if it is or not.How to configure line voltages on a power supply?
If there is no selector switch, power supply (PSU) either has a fixed 115V setting OR it is %26quot;Auto-ranging%26quot; (100 - 240V capable).
Shutting off during gaming can be an indication of PSU overloading. If your friend upgraded his graphics card but not the power supply, that could be the cause of the problem. Typically, most graphics card would just draw 50% or less power in 2D mode (prior to gaming). It goes full power in 3D mode (gaming). That's the time when it could potentially overload or stress small power supplies (300W or less).
