I now have my new power supply but my pc is still playing up - windows often won't start first time, so I have to turn off the power supply then try again - so far it boots up properly second time, but it has shut down with the BSOD a couple of times.
I have no idea what might be wrong, but figure that a new pc might be needed.
I'll be keeping my BitFenix micro ATX size case.
I've no idea what my motherboard is aside from being an Asus, chip is an i5 3570, 3.4ghz with 8gb ram.
I've never felt it to be slow or lacking so clearly don't need anything high end, nor can I afford that.
What should I be looking at to replace it.
No gaming, but I am listening to more music, so would a decent sound card be worth investing in ?
I have no idea about budget as I don't know what things cost, but any pointers or suggestions would be gratefully received.
As I am still happy with W7 is there any way to reinstall it in a new build, or will I have to upgrade to W10 ?
Thanks as always for any help !
