VaKo Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Lol, i spent 15£ on a power supply and it runs 4 hard disks, 2 optical drives, a geforce 6 and a pentium 4 fine. But I admit it can be hit and miss with the cheaper ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradox Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Call me a n00b, but I smell a virus. I had the exact same problem, and a quick antivir scan was just what the Dr.Web ordered. I in no way promoted the use of Dr.Web. Nevertheless, scan just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phiberoptik Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Sorry for the out of place title, but it gets the point across. I built my computer about a year to a year and a half ago, since than it has had problems with rebooting randomly. I fixed my video drivers, (thinking this was the problem) I bought a new heat sink (Now thinking heat was the problem), and a fan controller for watching heat. Now that I have ruled those out I shall give you my specsAMD Atholon 64 Processor 3000+ 1.99ghz (Meant to be 2?) 1 GB of PC 3200 RAM (I might be off on the 3200 part) A Radeon 9800 PRO Shuttle AN50 socket 754 Motherboard 6 Fans meant for cooling 2 on heat sink Ultra Fan Commander Western Digital hard drive (WDCAC26400B) 80 gig I think I have scanned for viruses and spyware. Any Help would be appreciated yea thats what i was thinking frist off as well. the ps is just a suggestion, take it or leave it but hope you get it fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Employee Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 So far, it hasn't restarted in awhile. It has exited me out of Counter-strike 1.6 a couple times, I guess I also forgot to include that, this has been happening since I built the computer.

Employee Posted May 15, 2006 Author Share Posted May 15, 2006 I need some security suggjestions.(i.e AVG ad-aware etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Employee Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 My idea now is to go to a store called 'Microcenter' (www.microcenter.com) and going to buy a new powersupply. Than I was considering reformatting. Would that be a logical decision?(Well by logical I mean a good idea) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phiberoptik Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 take the adivce at your own risk if its beyond your understanding, it might be worth taking it into the shop. shouldnt cost more then one of the part you are about to replace. online help is great but from where i sit it is hard to really be sure without physical access to the machine. this is the plan of action i would take if i was you replace ps if that does not fix the problem replace the mobo not fixed toss it out the window and then cry or then replace everything but then you could just buy new hardware or skip all of the above and take it to the shop.

Mikwit Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Did you ever boot into windows memory diagnostic (http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp). I was getting random reboots, got like 50,000 Errors over 11 passes and replaced the ram and it was all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panthera Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Hi to all!! it's the first time I write here, and I'm from Spain, so, excuse me if my english is not good enough... Employee, I think too you have a problem with the power supply, but before changing it, be sure that the mother board dont touch directly the pc box, once I had a similar problem and it was a little short-circuit. good luck...

VaKo Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 So in short Mr Employee, upgrade the power supply, if that fails... insure it, back up your data and pay a homeless druggie to "remove" it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy© Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Run the memory by SPD and if you have 2 simms take one out just try one If the voltage for the simms is adjustable (check bios maybe mobo jumper) check with simm manufacturer it's correct Hmm http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=32133 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
