Hello, everyone! I have the G20 that comes with the 750 and my setup came with the 230W brick. I have been using this PC for the better part of a year and while playing Overwatch my screen either locks up on red, yellow, blue, or black screens while I've been playing for 30 to 45 mins. The audio freezes about 5 seconds after. I have the game display the GPU temps and I have yet to see it over 80 C. I haven't had any lockups in any other games even under a heavy load with the graphics almost maxed. I have done a fair amount of research and tried various things like selecting the lowest graphic settings possible, making my game have my desktop resolution, swapping to windowed, and even installing Afterburner to have better control over my GPU temps.
My inital thought process was to purchase the 180W brick and use them both together. I also figured while I'm buying things to grab a new GPU and upgrade to 16GB of RAM. Using the threads here to reference.
Anyone have any advice? Am I on the right path? Thanks a lot in advance!

SO I finally got the 180W brick in the mail and it seems to not be drawing power at all. Do I need to crack my case open and swap to a connection so my MB pulls from the 180W brick? Any help would be appreciated!! Thank you!

I actually got the brick from Amazon. There was a link in this post about which one to purchase. I found a PNY and ASUS version of the 1050 TI and I checked the specs on NVIDIA and they suggest a total power of 300W. I'm assuming with the 180 and 230 adapters I should be fine.
I'm having some serious issues with Overwatch and honestly other games since I swapped the connectors. I don't know what the deal is, but it sucks. I can't even make it through an entire match now without the video card failing..and it's not over heating at all. It has to be my card crapping out or something. It seems to be when I get on top of a huge shield or when I get resurrected. It's like my video seizes. I'm running Afterburner and GPU-Z and nothing has been out of the norm. I repaired the game and everything. I spoke to a blizzard rep and gave them my DXdiag and MSinfo32 and it's not just Overwatch that my computer hangs on..I checked the error codes and confirmed what he found.
I wish I knew what the heck to do to fix it without spending 200 bucks on a new card when my system is above the minimum requirements..
