Computer Lockups

[tential]

It was turned off of course ^^. Here is what happened:
I hit the power on button and a white flash came up (the mobo light was still off). I then hit it again and no white flash but mobo light turns on. I then unplug everything, wait a second, and take out the plug for the last 4 pins. After this I reconnect it all and try to boot again and am able too. However after installing this PSU I still get freezes. What should I run to test everything? Would an nvidia stress test work?

The reason I thought it was the PSU was because of all the stuff I had been adding and there was no real way to upgrade anything without upgrading my PSU since most people with new PCs for gaming have 500 Watt +. I'm not sure how to isolate the problem so I know what to replace now.

Also I have a CHKDSK error on my main partition for my windows xp. I only can find it when I use O&O Defrag.

Man, I dunno. That white flash stuff probably isn't good.

I thought your origional PSU wasn't up to snuff because your voltage readings were way off.

Most people use OCCT or Prime95 for stress testing.

You're going to have to watch and see what else is happening when you get these freezes. What are you doing, what programs are running, what are the temps, how long has the machine been running, are any processes eating CPU cycles? Anything that happens at the same time as your freezes will help pinpoint the problem.

You're not giving us much info to go on.

If you're getting a CHKDSK error, run Chkdsk.
