Advice on power supply

[infinitezenzen]

Hi,

I have 780ti and 3 harddisk (2 sata 1 ssd), 4 fans.
I have FSP aurum 650w but recently after I installed another sata hdd, when i play BF4 it keeps crashing with Bf4 stopped working error. so i removed one of the hdd and it is fine so far. So need advice, is it really 650w is not enough? How many power supply should I upgrade it to?


Thanks

CPU model? Overclocked?
780Ti overclocked?

How old is the Aurum? How hot is the system?

to see temperature, use CPUID HWmonitor.

BF4 crashing would most probably be the game being installed in the bad sector HDD.

The game is installed on SSD. I have tried deleting everything and redownloading and reinstalling everything. Should I reformat?

Should not be force closure of BF4 due to PSU.

Cause if there is not enough power your com would most probably shut off.

Might wanna do a clean installation. Or check if your GPU is on new drivers?

Have tried reinstalling the latest driver, origin, game. Though I noticed that everytime the game crashes, 2 "com surrogate" processes appear in task manager. Sometimes they are shown when the game is running. Right after the game crashes, that two processes ended as well. Not sure if related.
