Nope, just the terrible one that came with my case, no label, just '500w'

Cheap PSU's may work fine for a while, but they are prone to failure, whether it be dramatically going up in a puff of smoke, or just not outputting what they're supposed to - which could be the case with yours.
If it's possible to check it, I would, just to rule it out. Can you borrow one from a friend?

Is there anyway I can measure the output?
And this is the case I have right now which came with my old PSU, it's basically a terrible case http://www.falconcomputers.co.uk/com...-500w-psu.html

And I ordered a Bitfinix Shinobi (no PSU, just for far better airflow) and it arrived today - http://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/pr...assis/shinobi/

I just tried taking out the ram, and switching the two around into into each others sockets, so far it seems L4D2 ran far better, Ill test out tf2, if it doesn't work, Ill do a system restore to an earlier point and see if that works?

The system restore seems to have worked, although when there is lots on the screen I get an fps drop, even though it didnt do this before?

As bad motha said you can use msi afterburner to monitor your clocks and temps while you play. You need to know what your temps and clock speeds are doing when these problems arise. If you need more help about how to go about doing this post back and someone can help you.
