"because its has 2x12V rails that combine give only 25A"
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
by no means am I an expert in this arena, but.....25 watts combined total for both rails?
the combined total of 25a does seem to be the culprit, 4850 vid, 3 sticks of ramski, and an AMD power hungry CPU puttin' a good stress on the PWM......
you could very well be putting your whole system in danger should your PS decide to puke on you while up and running....you have some expensive parts,,,,,
reminding you this is just an opinion based on years of experience...
it would be advised that you get a PS with like 18 to 25 watts PER leg, and perferrably a unit with more than two output lines....between your vid card draw and other stuffs AND trying to OC the bejesus out of it.....
over the years I have experimented with many PS's, and my rule of thumb now is this is definately a part you don't want to skimp on, better to spend too much and have overkill knowing the PS is not the part in question....
it is what it is...
