Here are my specs:
MSI P7N Diamond LGA 775 Motherboard NVIDIA GeForce 9800GTX 512MB Rosewill RX850-D-B 850W PSU Intel Core 2 DUO Quad Q6600 CPU Platinum 4GB 240-pin DD2 1066mhz memory Seagate 250GB hard drive 3Gb/s I just built this computer a few days ago and I am running into the problem where 10-45min into a game, any game from World of Warcraft to Supreme Commander, the computer will either restart or I get a bsod. I have installed a new CPU heat sink, tested the temperature of the system(44-46C), CPU(26-32C), and GPU (57-59C) during gameplay and all have not shown any over heating. I have removed my sound card and uninstalled the drivers, uninstalled the video card drivers and reinstalled from a freshly downloaded driver. I have underclocked my computer. I have removed all electronics on the circuit that my tower is plugged into leaving just the tower and the monitor had a cable running across the room to the jack on the other electrical circuit. I have taken the memory out trying different slots, used just 1 stick at a time (I have 2 2GB sticks) swapping them in and out. I recently ran a memtest 86 and it came back all green. I am really at a loss, nobody I know knows what is going on it is defying all reason. Any suggestions as to what it could possibly be? This is a brand new computer with all new parts so I do not have parts I could swap components out with. |

Well there's your problem. Next time don't buy generic power supplies.

What would you recommend then?
How much power would be enough to power all this hardware? |

This could be powered on a 350W Seasonic.
It's not the "power" that matters, most setups draw less than 300W. It's the quality of the power supply. Rosewill is not a quality manufacturer. The Corsair 400CX is your best bet.

Are you using OCZ memory? Have you set the voltages and timings correctly and manually?

Replaced the PSU with a 550W Antec (only one in the area that had all the pin connectors for my computer) and still getting the same problem. I am using OCZ memory it's all set to automatic.

Look up what the timings and voltage should be and set them manually.
The default voltage is normally 1.8V, whereas OCZ memory specifies 2.1V. I am almost sure that that is your problem.... been there, done that.

Ahhh!! Thank you so much!
 That was the problem, going on little over 2 hours now and no restart, error, or hiccup of any kind.
