i have a question
now most site i found, say that one should keep you PSU the same as it was, or get a bigger one to cover upgrade

now
the fuuny part is i found this one site that stateing that a larger PSu can cause problem witha compter rebooting or fail to boot at all
i find that hard to beleive that a larger power supply would cause any problem

i reboot so many time with my case open and ear all most in side case, no it not the case

to be it sound like it comeing from MOBO around the cpu, but then the power supply is so close, sound c arry, but that what it sound like


just for the info, i ran speed fan
and on the botton it has voltages

here what it told me, but ther are 2 that seem to change value as fast as you can blink
