I just got a shiny brand new 560 Ti to play with yesterday, and after hooking it up to the PC every benchmark I ran caused a shutdown, even games. Is my power supply most likely the culprit?
My previous setup before the new card:
SilverStone Strider ST56F 560W
550 BE X2 to X3 @ 3.75GHz
Asus 4830 @ stock
500GB WD Green
250GB Barracuda
80GB Barracuda
SB Audigy
8 fans in total, mostly 80mm
DVD-ROM, but that likely won't matter
I know the ST56F has separate +12v rails at 18A each, but usually the CPU and/or the PCIE 6pins get their own rail. The ST56F comes with two of these 6pin connectors, which once I start any intensive benching or gaming the PC shuts off.
I tried plugging a molex to 6pin to try the other rail, but the PC cuts to a stop a split second after hitting the power on.
Any thoughts?
