My bad, apparently you can't embed videos on GameSpot :(

Here are the links instead.

I think we've all seen by now videos of giants blasting people into the stratosphere and shops being cleared out because the shopkeeper had a bucket over their head. Skyrim, being so expansive, is more prone to funny glitches and bugs than any other game. I thought it would be nice to make a thread where we can all share our funny stories and videos in one place. Here are some of the funny things that I saw recently:

Whenever I play, I'll put on FRAPS so that it continually records whatever I'm doing over a span of three minutes. If you're wondering why the vampire is wearing a fur cape in the first video and why it says, "You are wet," in the second, it's because I was using mods. Anyway, if anyone else here wants to share a story or a video, go ahead, but if you share a video, make sure that it's one of your own and not one of the popular ones on YouTube.

According to this Hardware Secret's review of my PSU, apparently my PSU isn't capable of powering the 550W needed for my GPU, even though that's what it claims it can do. Do you guys think that is why it crashes during gaming?

If so, what kind of PSU would you guys recommend? I think I might SLI my card with another one day, so I think 750W+ would be best. Would any of you recommend buying this one?

Sorry for the late response guys, but I've been very busy this week with work, and I haven't had much of a chance to work on this problem. I formatted my hard drive, installed Windows, and updated it with all of the latest updates and drivers. After playing Skyrim for about an hour, I thought the problem was finally fixed, until I started playing Civ 5 for about 20 minutes, after which the computer shut down.

Is the only option left to buy a new power supply or to buy more fans?

It seems like it's just one problem after another with my new PC :(

I just bought my first gaming PC, and everything's running fine, but after a few minutes of playing a game (Skyrim, Napoleon: TW, etc.), it crashes. And by crashes, I don't mean it goes to the desktop - the whole stupid thing restarts.

Searching online, the only answers I could find was that my PSU isn't enough or my parts are overheating. However, I don't think that either of those are my problem. I have two fans running (that came with the case) and my card runs at around 70-ish degrees when playing games. Also, my PSU is a CoolerMaster 550W.

Don't get me wrong - I don't know much about computers at all, so those two problems may very well be what's going on with my computer, but is 550W not enough to run a single GTX 560 Ti, 8gb of RAM, and Skyrim? Or is 70+ degrees bad?

Thanks for any help you can provide me, GameSpotters.
