Hi,
I made a few posts a couple months ago about problems i had with games crashing on my new computer. With the help of people such as mplichfamily and others we managed to suss out that the problem was the PSU which was a bad make and wasn't powerful enough for my system so now that christmas...
thank you very much for the comment. Do you have any suggestions on PSUs that are good and would be powerful enough for my system? Also i just played through a few missions with only 1GB of RAM and it works fine. Thanks again for the comment
I bought a new computer a couple months ago and had some problems with it. Games were crashing when they shouldnt of and I was getting very annoyed. In the end I tried taking out one of the sticks of RAM to see if one of them was faulty. Neither was but i did find that games didnt crash when i...
About my windows xp. Annoyingly enough i only have like the one up from the very original so i have to do so much patching it isnt funny so i would definetly prefer not to have to do that. I had to it at least 5 times when i got this computer a couple months ago and it was driving me crazy!
Thanks you two. Mpilchfamily i have windows xp sp3 on my computer. How do i partion out the drive to have more space? I already have installed quite a lot of things so would this mean having to uninstall stuff?
Thanks again and thanks in advance
Hey guys this isnt a huge porblem but i just want it to be resolved. I built a new computer and with it a 310GB hard drive. However on my computer it says it is only a 127GB hard drive. I was just wondering what i can do to resolve this problem.
thanks in advance
Sorry to put 2 replies up in succession but I just thought for those of you that have commented and read earlier that i just played an approx 50 minuite battle on company of heroes and it ran smoothly with no crashes or anything like that. Any ideas? Maybe it was just an occaisional crash the...
Ok thanks a lot of you two. I will have a look at those PSUs on those links you have provided me. The strange is though that it worked with 2GB of RAM in my other games and actually in COH for a few days as well. What do you think of that?

Yeh thanks for the advice but looking on online calculators it doesnt seem that i need a PSU greater than 500W so 580W should be fine. I would only need a 850W or something similar if i had multiple HDD and 2 graphics cards which i dont. So thank you very much for your suggestion, your the only...
Actually sorry i made a typing error and i only just relised! Its actually 580W! Sorry for the wrong information. I was able to have a 2 hour 7 player battle today and it ran smoothly so would you reccommend a bigger power supply as a short term buy or a long term buy? And also how much is that...
I have tried 3 games now with only 1 GB of RAM and they all work fine. I have tried Counterstrike Source, Team Fortress 2 and Garry's Mod. I think i need to update the bios for the motherboard or something like that and then hopefully the games will work with 2 GBs of RAM. Thanks for your help...
I have taken out one of the GBs of RAM so now there is only 1 and the good news is Counterstrike Source works now. The bad news is I dont know what to do now i have found that out and also Company of Heroes still crashes straight away. I was readong through some different forums and someone said...
Yes voodoo has tried everything he thinks would make it work. Actually the RAM were in the wrong slots (in 1 and 2 not 1 and 3 which are colour coded) but that still had no affect on company of heroes crashing. I was trying to be optimistic by thinking maybe it was a bad install but that was...
Ok thanks m8 i'll try that. I really dont think it would be temperatures because i have an intel as you can see which keep very cool and also i have a fan on the graphics card and 2 180mm fans in the tower both on full which should keep it cool.
will someone please help me. This is just making me miserable. I paid all my money for this computer and all its done is not work. It just wont run any game for a good amount of time without crashing. IF I'M LUCKY!!!! I just tried to play Counterstrike source and Team fortress 2. They both...
ahhhh i cant close easy tunes. It is in the bottom right of the screen and i click on it, double click it or right click it but still it just wont open up so i can close it down. It's running otherwise why would the icon be there. help me!!!!!
Lol actually i dont really know, it came with my motherboard disc with all a lot of the drivers on it so i thought i may as well just install everything to be safe. It's in my toolbar at the bottom right of the screen and i cant close it because i left click it or right click it or double click...
Well on my old pc i used skype all the time while playing and there was no problem so i'll try not running easy tunes. Thanks a lot m8. But how does running easy tunes make games not work i mean the pc could surely handle running easy tunes and a game?
I have never had a problem like that for example my old pc could run these games without crashing although the programmes i have running with my games are easy tunes, Spy bot search and destroy, AVG anti virus free, ATI catalyst centre and skype. Do you think these could be interfering?
Hey guys I've just bought a new computer with all the parts separate so i got my brother to build the computer for me (he's done it before) but i think i have a very similar problem to KoolAidman. I run Team Fortress 2 and i encounter problems every time. Sometimes it will just freeze at the...
Also guys i am running windows xp with service pack 3 installed. The Intel processor quad core is 2.4 ghz for each core and i have 2GB of RAM. I think this computer will be able to run a lot of games on full settings but maybe not the most newest game (supreme commander, Crysis of course!)...
