Hi all
I have read many things about PSU's & to be honest, still don't understand if mine is any good. Or at least I have never really needed to understand before, but now I believe I have cause for concern.

My PSU details are.

Codegen 400W
+3.3V +5V +12V -5V -12V +5VSB
20A 35A 16A 0.5A 0.8A 2A
l 210W max l N/A l 9.6W max l N/A l
AC output 115/230 VAC 1A/0.5A 50/60Hz

These are exactly what is written on the side on the PSU.
The problems;
I play Mafia no problems at all. If I try to load Max Payne it just drops out back to the desktop.
I use Nero 5.5. If I open it up I can go through the wizard & select VCD for example, then as soon as I hit Burn - it drops out to desktop. It also happens if I select Properties in Nero, but all other functions seen to work.

This is only very recent with Nero, but Max Payne has always done it with the Ti 4200 card. Fortunately I have finished MP, but it is still very annoying!

Anyone got any ideas??? Please!!!
Cheers

Unless your PSU is defective, it should be adequate.
