Ram or PSU Causing repeative system LockUps / Restarts

[cirdan_taralom]

Hello,
I had a gander at the PSU, I has 3 six pin SLI Connectors, Suitable to run 3 9800gt + GPU, a friend of my told me about the Power Supply as he is using it to run 3 9600gtx cards, has been for a year. But it is not the most stable system around.

Which would be a better brand?

Antec, Coolermaster, QPC etc...

My mum had a QPC a while ago, It was a real good PSU.

Thank you for your time.

Antec, Corsair, OCZ, and Cooler Master, to name a few.

Antecs are all good these days. If you pick up a used one, make sure your case is well-ventilated and test it first; the capacitors inside do NOT handle heat well, and Antecs aren't known for powerful fans.

Corsair, as well as the OEMs they use (SeaSonic and Fortron Source [FSP/Sparkle]) are quite good, and OCZ and Cooler Master tend to be overrated by about 10%, but good-quality and go on sale often enough to be worth buying. Topower's also not a bad choice on-the-cheap.

I'd recommend Enermax, Seasonic, and PC Power and Cooling (now a high-end division of OCZ) if you have a bit more to spend.

JonnyGURU and the folks that write for him know their stuff. If you have a question on a particular model, see if they've reviewed something similar, or ask about it in their forums - some of the members there are veritable fonts of information on power supplies.
