Ok I just got home from work and fired up the PC to check mail and such.. about 4 mins go by and boom it shuts off. :huh: So I sit there for a sec... and lean over to turn it on. Turns on like normal and I notice that the little LCD temp display on the front of my case, the blue back light isn't on... you think that is the culprit? I did install my new 6800GS on Monday, which says it needs a 350w PSU, but I got a 450w.. and the only other thing hooked on the same line is my only 80gb HDD. That do it? But this is the first time it happened, which is why I find it really odd... Played plenty of games(2+hrs at a time) and not on hiccup. Now this on a startup and the little LCD light goes out really makes me wonder. What do you guys think?

I don't think a little backlight is going to make your computer crash, a flaking 450W PSU might though.
