Bad computer probs.


Question

Ok built a new machine recently,

3.0GHZ proc

9800 Radeon pro

1GB DDR ram

400W PSU (Generic)....

Been having some problem since day one really, I use this machine for everything and when I play world of warcraft on it every 30 mins to an 1 hour the game gets REALLY choppy and the only way for me to fix it is to reload the game(I do this by turning on/off vertical sync).

At random times the screen turns to a cross thatch of grey pixels (Few RGB in there)

One time it shut off and would not turn back on.

It is restarting at random times and giving me this error message

C:\DOCUME~1\Jake\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER9db0.dir00\Mini040505-02.dmp

C:\DOCUME~1\Jake\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER9db0.dir00\sysdata.xml

Please help!

Thats what I thought but I re did cooling today put in a pci slot fan and checked mother board monitor

118F Cpu temp

105F Case temp

115F GPU temp

(I used a childs thermoter with the GPU) but it wouldnt go higher than 107F, but most of the time when I checked it was at 102-105F.

Pretty sure its not overheating.....

My case also has a hole in the side of it as a vent.

Total fans are.

1xCase fan

1xGPU fan

1xCPU fan

1xPSU fan

1xPCI slot fan

Other air mods

1xVent(Hole in side of case)

2xPci slots with holes drilled in them for flow

Generic PSU is your problem. Do you have another one you can test?

I dont have one but I could buy one, do you really think 400W isnt enough to run my machine?

The case is illuminated (Fan lights up) + 2 Frontal LED's.

So....

3.0Ghz HT P4

1GB DDR Kingmax ram

9800Pro Ati

80mm illuminated case fan

2 Frontal Led's

40GB Hard drive (Cant remember speed)

DVD Drive (Cant remember speed)

CD-RW (Cant remember speed)

All cant be run with a 400W PSU? The psu came with my Rosewill case.

It's all(or mostly) about Quality not Quanity of wattage.

Theres your first clue. Bundled PSU's are crap once in a swhile you'll hit a small tiny gem ( coolermaster's units) with bundled cases. But dont expect the majority of them to last until you grow a white beard. (so as to say ;) )

    • There is nobody to challenge the status quo. Foldables have not taken off as expected. People are holding onto their existing phones for a lot longer. There is movement happening in the handheld console space, but those are not phones. Both Apple and Google are involved in legal fights. Yet they have to stick to releasing a new OS every year... It all adds up.
    • Elon Musk once again claims Tesla robotaxis are coming soon by David Uzondu Image via Depositphotos.com Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, has announced a tentative start date of June 22 for the company's long-awaited public robotaxi service. According to a post on his social media platform X, the initial launch will be in Austin, Texas. Musk added a significant condition, however, saying "We are being super paranoid about safety, so the date could shift." The service is expected to begin with just 10 to 20 Model Y SUVs operating within a limited area and with remote human supervision. He also mentioned a plan starting June 28 for new Teslas to drive themselves from the factory to a customer's home. This is a moment many are probably waiting for, though it comes with a heavy dose of skepticism. Musk has made grand promises about self-driving before. This robotaxi network brings to mind the bold claims from all the way back in 2019 when the company said a similar service would launch the following year. That evidently did not happen. Federal regulators also have their doubts. Last year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration criticized Tesla for making its "Full Self-Driving" feature sound more capable than it actually is, demanding the company align its marketing with reality. Tesla is also driving into a field that is no longer empty. Waymo, Google's sibling company, is already a major player, offering hundreds of thousands of paid rides per week across Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and even Austin. The company is so far ahead that it has begun testing in Tokyo. But being ahead means Waymo is also the first to face certain dangers. For example, on the evening of June 8, a group of protesters in downtown Los Angeles summoned Waymo vehicles during a demonstration. When the vehicles arrived, they slashed the tires, smashed the windows, and spray-painted the cars before setting three of them on fire. Which raises a thorny question for Tesla: if you can summon a car with no one inside, can you summon it just to destroy it? It's one thing for protesters to stumble upon a robotaxi and vandalize it; it's another for someone to use the app to call a driverless car to a secluded spot for a planned attack. With public sentiment around Musk so divided, especially given his DOGE shenanigans and his recent face off with Donald Trump, that's not just a theoretical problem. We've already seen this hostility play out in attacks where people vandalize Teslas, carving swastikas into them and spray painting slogans like "Burn More Teslas" on walls.
    • This is actually quite useful. But why wouldn't they implement this in the local file system? The code is obviously all there now... maybe in 5 years.
    • The new "Story Cards" in the Software section are nice, but I wish they had the product icon included. I use this section to identify updates for software that I use regularly, and it's sometime difficult to identify the software without the product icon. Thanks for your consideration. pelaird
    • Mozilla really needed to focus on their core product for a while now. I will not mourn the death of pocket or AI garbage. One thing they don't do that I believe they should is advertise more, and not just to their core audience, especially their additional services. Let people know they actually exist.
