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 ;) )

    • These are the Apple Watch models that support watchOS 26 by Aditya Tiwari Apple has announced the latest operating system upgrade for its smartwatch lineup, called watchOS 26, not watchOS 12, as many expected a while ago. The Cupertino giant has unified the software experience across its platforms by introducing the "Liquid Glass" software design and renaming all the operating systems to version 26. That said, the next question is which Apple Watch models will support watchOS 26. Apple has shared the official list of devices: Apple Watch Ultra 2 Apple Watch Ultra Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Series 9 Apple Watch Series 8 Apple Watch Series 7 Apple Watch Series 6 Apple Watch SE (2nd Generation) The upcoming Apple Watch update brings several new features to your wrist. Liquid Glass design gives a fresh look to the UI with updated Control Center and translucent buttons within apps. It's new Workout Buddy feature can use an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone nearby to provide personalized, spoken motivation during workouts. Building on the Double Tap feature, you can now flick your wrist to perform actions like muting incoming calls, silencing timers, and dismissing notifications when your hands are full. It is available on Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Apple Watch Series 9 (or later). watchOS 26 is currently available for testing through the Apple Developer Program. It will roll out to general users during the fall season, when Apple is expected to refresh the Ultra and SE models. Note that your Apple Watch must be paired with an iPhone 11 (or later) or iPhone SE (2nd generation or later) running iOS 26. While the list of Apple Watch models that support watchOS 26 remains the same, it won't work with iPhone Xs/Xs Max and iPhone Xr, which were previously supported on watchOS 11. You can check out the respective lists of supported devices for iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26 Tahoe.
    • Galaxy Z Fold7 to be the thinnest and lightest foldable from Samsung by Sagar Naresh Bhavsar A few days ago, Samsung shared an official teaser of their upcoming premium foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold7. Interestingly, the company titled the official post, "Meet the Next Chapter of Ultra," giving birth to a new rumor about a new "Ultra" foldable. The teaser highlighted Galaxy Z Fold7's tall and wide design, which previous rumors have suggested. The Galaxy Z Fold7 is also expected to come with a bigger display compared to the Galaxy Z Fold6. There were also rumors that Samsung could use a titanium backplate for improved durability and also make the device slim. Now, Samsung has shared a new teaser of the Galaxy Z Fold7 that adds a bit a weight to this rumor. Samsung has called the Galaxy Z Fold7 the "thinnest, lightest, and most advanced foldable yet." While the company didn't share any measurements or metrics that would define how thin or light the upcoming foldable is, the GIF shows the Galaxy Z Fold7 from the side (and it appears quite thin). Take a look for yourself: It would be safe to say that Samsung has been lacking in terms of making its foldable devices slim, even reducing the display crease. Though the company launched the Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition in China and Korea last year, which was their slimmest phone, it was nowhere near the likes of the OPPO Find N5. In terms of innovation as well, the company is far behind, and Chinese makers such as Huawei have already released the world's first triple-folding phone, the Mate XT. On the positive side, Samsung claimed that their "engineers and designers are refining each generation of the Galaxy Z series to be thinner, lighter, and more durable than the last," suggesting that the company could bring improvements with this year's foldable. The Galaxy Z Fold7 is expected to launch next month, in New York, in the second Unpacked event of the year, alongside the Galaxy Z Flip7. There are also rumors that the affordable version of the flip phone, the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, could also launch at the event.
    • I think Sequoia will be the last stop for my old 2012 Mac mini (with 16GB RAM & 512MB SSD). It runs Sonoma OK, so perhaps Sequoia will work well too. I don't have high hopes for Tahoe, however - that looks to be a GPU-intense OS.
