Corsair like other OEMs make different classes of gear. The more expensive category usually have better capacitors and other innards. Cabling and noise from the mains can also make a difference in the test results, with the cheaper PSUs performing less well in filtering all distortions out. I think RMA'ing with a call to the supplier may be more effective in stopping the PC crashing. -- Regards, Mick
