    So I attempted overclocking the 880M in my system. I just wanted to ask whether or not a 180W was too little, because everytime I go past the 1050mhz mark, it starts crashing. Temperature is probably not the problem because it has yet to go over 80 degrees. If the PSU is the problem, can someone recommend me a higher wattage one that works with this computer? Thanks.

    180w is small for the 880M. When benching I have pulled 278w from the wall.

    What is your GPU voltage? It will need a bump up to overclock if you haven't tried raising it. I usually go .025v at a time. Small steps. Write down your settings and results. Are you using the stock VBIOS? If so, you won't get too far overclocking the 880M.

    Crashing is normally the voltage and of course raising the voltage will make the power consumption go way up so tread carefully.
