    Ok...

    So I have the following setup of my computer:

    AMD Athlon XP 3000+
    1gb DDR 400 (PC3200) (2 x 512mb dual)
    ASRock K7S41 (Socket A)
    40gb Seagate + 80gb Maxtor
    Asus N6600
    Saga PSU
    Zalman CPU h/s

    Now, I previously updated from:

    512mb
    XFX 5500
    Ultra PSU
    stock fan

    and before, i could play BF2, and other big games, good on low-medium settings. but after my upgrade, i can play the games, but whenever I quit the game, my computer either restarts or shuts down...

    also, while playing B&W2, the graphics start to lose the outer layer on the characters...

    And a few days ago, it would do the same after watching a DVD on DVD X player...

    either 1, my gfx is crapping out, or my cpu is not strong enough, tho i could play fine before the upgrade..

    i perpetually blame problems on the PSU but I doubt it is in this case. Could eb a driver conflict though I can't guarantee it. have you checked all drivers? also, try using the 5500 see anythign whatsoever changes... it's good to be able to isolate any issues there might be.

    lolz xelink triple poster :D

    I think the same - Everythiing else looks fine but when i look at the PSU looks dodgy :D

    Probably that - Doesnt cost loads to get a decent PSU - So that could make a decent difference

    and DS double posted, lol...

    I think it might be, but before i ordered the stuff for my upgrade, .defuzion said the psu was fine, maybe he overlooked it...

    I have the latest drivers for the gfx card, directly from nvidea... even downloaded the ASUS ones for software updates....

    any ones cheaper than 50 that will fix up this mishap?

    shouldn't be a psu problem you're a little over what you need albiet I don't trust the quality of that brand of PSU, I am sure it's significntly better than what are put into premanufactured systems...


    fvcking hipocrit

    :lol: DS... yeah, i caught diablo on irc last night. he says it doesn't seem like the psu...

    when i break it down, i think it's my gfx card...

    one game i could play earlier, with my current cpu, I cannot play it now, without it resetting when I exit it..

    I tried putting the earlier 512 ram in, didnt change anything.

    and the new psu has more power then my stock one, plus dual 12v rails...

    so, i think it's my gfx.... I'll get a new one when i get my next build. I need a new cpu/mobo (939) anyway

    heh, DS, you know I have nothing against you.

    xmaster, any way you could test with the old 5500?
