the computer worked fine on startup the leds on the card work .. but when i enter a game that stresses just a little bit the graphics card my pc auto shuts down without any warnings .. just like i would pull the power cord out.. the old one had 40 fps on low .. the first time ive put it in i set the setting of the game on ultra and i got to 60 fps no problem but only for 10 sec and then i shuts down im speaking -the division-.. i have a 650 watt power supply down you can see my other computer parts

WHAT 650 W power supply do you have?

With some low-end power supply makers you don't always get what's on the box it's important to know which model and brand power supply you have because if it's something like "Larry's 650watt super real quality ultra definitely not bad power supply brand"
You might not be getting what you're paying for, all jokes aside.

The PSU seems to be the problem.

Test it with a well known brand PSU.

Replace the power supply, Antec, Seasonic, Enermax, XFX, EVGA, Corsair and certain model Rosewill, Thermaltake are Suggested.

Since the guy didn't specify what brand and model of psu he has, he must have a piece of crap.

power provided 650 watts input Voltage AC 230 V Output Voltage + 3.3 ▪ ± 5 ▪ +12 V Power Capacity (single unit) 650 Watt here are some specs [- its 2008 i think 2008 says it all

Borrow a well known brand PSU from somewhere and test it.

Looks like Sweex no longer sells PSUs, and the customer reviews gave it 3 out of 5 Stars.

Looks like crap, why spend so much on a pc to chuck a $20 psu in it..... A decent 500w would be fine... Look at evga, seasonic, corsair etc

at that age a good deal of the supposed 650w output would be on the 3.3 and 5v rails

and psu's of this quality back then rarely put out anywhere near their claimed wattage
