April 13, 201115 yr See how far your 5Volt reading is below the 5V line?! Just what I had on my old cheap psu. It would do OK, but when under demand it failed, either wear or too cheap components.Perhaps that's why your previous, and not so power hungry, gpu makes it all good.I'd say get a brand name psu, and you should see the difference.

April 13, 201115 yr Yup that's too low. I have a pretty much top tier 1000W PSU, and my OCCT test shows my 5V reading at 4.90.

April 15, 201115 yr Author Hello,Just an update to let you know how things are regarding my PC.The reboots continue even with my old GPU so I ordered a new PSU today.I used the "Power Supply Finder" at Corsair.com and chose the HX650W. Hope I did the right choice considering I'm on a tight budget right now. I´ll probably pick it up next Monday and as soon as I have it running I'll report back.Thank you. Regards, Hugo Bravo LPPT
