I recently upgraded to
Amd fx 8320
Gigabyte Mobo
8gb DDR Ram.

While my graphics card and psu and cabinet remain the same.
It worked fine till i was using it for just net surfing and a bit of Maya.
But as soon as i Fired up Football Manager, the cpu shut down
And does not power on anymore.

I am wondering if the psu is dead now and which 1 could I buy to
Avoid such cases.
