Hello, i have a general question. Im just testing my old pc and it have problem where i need to increase core voltage in MSI Afterburner or games will crash, even new games can be played but without core voltage just no only crash. What can be possible cause of that?
System specs:
Processor- Intel Core I5-760
GPU- GeForce GTX 650
Motherboard- Intel DH57JG
RAM- AMD Radeon 8gb DDR3 1600 MHz

Just to mention Pc worked perfectly fine and after maybe several months that started to happen, i even bought new power supply but nothing GPU dont have any physically damage.

Probably just silicon aging. Needs a little more juice to maintain integrity at the running clock speed. It could also be the motherboard / power rail delivering a little under the stated voltage.

Start with power draw stats in HWiNFO64 and isolate the problem?
Could also be the bare minimum amount of power going to the card.
I'm preparing for upgrades by choosing a new power supply.
Low amperage split power rail just doesn't cut it anymore.

Gee I wonder how this thing is running without a powersupply specified.

Yeah, would be helpful to know your PSU's model.
