My PSU is a grade-A Corsair AX1200i (modular 1200W) and runs my system perfectly. I have no abnormal component voltage spikes or issues as a result of the PSU so that can be ruled out. It's usually only when something needs hardware acceleration (for the GPU) it starts to cause some issue. For example if I try to load a youtube video (flash/html based) and use Spotify and other applications at the same time sometimes I get little hangs and sometimes a full display driver crash and thus recovers...the other times I get a TDR (Timeout Detection/Delay Recovery) and a system crash accusing the display drivers as the cause of the crash.
My fans on my GPU do work and they are always spinning. When in "auto" mode the fans spin at about 15-20% speed. I've set a profile for the fans to start increasing speed to cool the GPU at 44% at 56 and 65% at 60'C.
