I hope nobody takes this personally but I think Internet forums are a total load of crap! I rarely get anything of use from them as people just can't be bothered to answer in a scientific/rational manner. You ask for some guidance and someone is sure to say "do a Google search". If it's "yes...

Yup my point exactly! Also, can anyone point me to any whitepapers, articles or similar documents which can show me hoe IPv6 is a big improvement over IPv4 especially in wireless applications?

From what I've read so far IPv6 doesn't really improve on IPv4 any more than providing a greater number of addresses. Here is one such article: Exposing 9 Myths About IPv6 Can anyone provide any links that are contrary to what I've read? Furthermore, how is IPv6 an improvement over IPv4 with...

Anyone?:(

Thanks for all your comments everyone it's much appreciated. There is only one problem I have with the ATI card theory and that is I had been using it in an AMD rig for about 7-8mnths (until I got my P4 2.8GHz) with zero problems. However, the only games I played were Delta Force 2 and a few...

Myocardia I am taking your advice it's just that someone thought I was experiencing the problems because I had overclocked my system. The thing is when you run something like 3dMark2001 at stock settings and the system switches off right at the very begining of the benchmark I don't know if that...

Seen as though you have a Radeon 9800 Pro have you experienced problems similar to mine, i.e. system abruptly switching off? If so have you been able to resolve them?

Well I'm running stock settings on everything at the moment and my PC still switches off when running graphics intensive app's like games and especially 3dmark2001.

I've ran memtest86 and prime95 and they seem to be OK. I ran prime95 for an hour and no errors (I don't know if that is long enough) I also ran 3 passes of memtest86 and it seemed to be OK. However, I am getting problems with 3dmark2001. Sometimes it will run fine even with my virus scanner and...

The thing is that most of the time it runs fine. For example I just ran 3dMark2001 twice with my virus scanner running and a host of other applications and it ran fine. However, I ran 3dmark2001 again on its own and the system just switched itself off right at the begining of the benchmark! So I...

Snidy could the memory cause my PC to switch off like that? What could be wrong with the memory and how can I rectify it? Swampster do you think maybe the Abit mobo I have could be reporting the temp higher than they actually are and thererfore abruptly switches off my PC? The mobo has a power...

The PSU is a Q-Tec dual fan 550W which should be more than enough for my system as it is only at stock settings.

At stock settings only in games but when I overclocked the system to around 3.2GHz it even switched itself off when I was running my virus scanner.

I have a slight problem with my PC switching itself off whilst I am running any intensive programs such as games. The PC won't go through the shutdown process but just switches off! I was wondering if anyone could provide any suggestions as to why this may be happening. My system spec is as...
