my current PSU is gold cert

what brand? it should be pretty good if its a gold cert doesnt mean it cant die but 4-5 years for a gold cert is a bit rough if thats the issue

get canada computer to test your psu they should have a thing to test the plugs see if they are getting proper power no?



does your psu have like multiple extra loose cords? try swapping out the gpu cord if you got an extra 6 pin maybe its a bad cord or connector to that cord orsomething simple like that

" Irregular crash or forced game/computer reboot
If the game crashes irregularly or forces your computer to restart from time to time, you could:

Increase the fan speed or the cooling efficiency of your hardware by whatever means appropriate.
Remark: PoE can be quite taxing on hardware and temperature of processors and other parts can get quite high after a while.

Navigate to the Log-in page, click on ‘Settings’, under ‘Graphics’, change ‘DirectX’ version to ‘DirectX 9’.

Submit a bug report to Technical Support, outlining system specifications, network specifications and possible steps to reproduce/conditions that lead to crash. Inclusion of a DxDiag report may also be useful.
Remark: This could potentially be an independent case requiring specific solution as advised by Support.

Check that the Graphic Card drivers are ‘relatively’ up-to-date. "

Did you try the bolded part?

poe requires 4gb ram so 8gb is fine

I doubt it's ram but run memtest as suggested

sounds like psu or hard drive error, try installing poe on a separate hard drive, try powering video card from a separate psu to test


Also: when it crashes, restart and read the event viewer;

Click Windows Start button > Type event in Search programs and files field.
Select Event Viewer

it's EVGA nex series made by FSP, just a decent budget psu.
it's border line gold cert, but barely makes it.
Though none of efficiency really matters, it's all about quality when it comes to PSU.

yeah but generally higher tier efficiency psu have better quality parts from what i was reading but it varies brand to brand
so yeah the cert isnt everything but its normally a fairly good indicator its not a pos white cert from china at least

cert doesnt really relate much to indicate the quality of parts. It's just the efficiency of the power supply rating. there's many gold cert psu's out there that is pure trash, hence they still cost less than seasonic/superflower bronze cert psus cuz the quality of those are much higher.

yes im aware the rating is to measure the efficiency but i was reading some of the higher end companies put better quality parts in their higher certs since they cost more anyways
maybe they lied idk i dont make psus i dont test and review them but it makes sense though

oh sick... i tried all my keys all muted for d2
so i as like fuck it imma install the 26 set on my bnet acc even though it was a banned set... well apparently not muted and working perfectly fine
i think i actually registered my original cd keys from my d2 cases on bnet haha that key went through some shit
