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 ;) )

    • I would not mind paying 120 up to 150 dollars in this economy value of the dollar currency if their video game is quite breathtaking and excellent use of my hard earned work money. I think people need to appreciate all the effort workers and time that goes into excellent and worthy video games. Now if only the publishers and companies behind the video games would share the love with the developers those at the bottom of work making such games happen as in increase their money accounts and give them a more richer life that I wish would have happened . But how companies have bad reputation of being $$$ profit greedy I feel sad if there are any developers that feel unappreciated as in no real compensation for all the hours of work they put into a blockbuster hit . Have a great day everyone . Thank you developers engineers and programmers that make superb video games happen . You have my thanksgiving and I hope you really really appreciate my words . With you all about this
    • I guess they use the free version, which doesn't send money to any Russians.
    • True, you can pin it to the Start Menu, but my preference is to pin it to the Taskbar since I am using W11 on a desktop with a large display and a lot of space on the Taskbar.
    • 200 mph. Try going 200 mph with a vehicle on a street in any city in America. Good luck. Yes its speculation but so is the idea that it has been 100% approved by the government. When a new drug is under development it goes through a number of test phases, each of increasing efficacy and safety. I would imagine it is the same in this case. You can similuate real conditions on test roads with other cars and if successful on test roads you move it to the next test phase of testing it on real streets with human assistance if needed. Testing conditions on test roads can never account for all real life situations on real roads. This is what I imagine is happening now. The final test phase.
