Hi, guys. I bought a HP a1130n about 4-5 months ago, here are the specs
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice
MSI RS480M2-IL Motherboard mATX
2 x 512 DDR400 3-3-3-6
250 GB Seagate @ 7200 rpms 8 MB
250 GB Western Digital @ 7200 rpms 8MB
HP DVD-R/RW with Lightscribe
HP DVD-ROM
256MB MSI Geforce 6800 (nv41) @ 400/750
HP Stock Case mATX
HP PSU 300W
Linksys 802.11 b/g wireless adapter (USB)
Creative Webcam (USB)
I want to ask am I running extremely close to the edge, PSU wise, because when I was playing NFS MW the screen suddenly froze for about 20 seconds and then resumed as though nothing ever happened. In GTA VC it sometimes not always freezes and then reboots, this happened one or two times in NFS MW as well.
When I try to OC my 6800's core a inch above 405 and test changes coolbits informs that the test failed to run at the specified clock speed. Is it because the PSU fails to provide enough power? In non gaming applications the system is rock solid.
Also since my case is mATX do I have to keep that in mind when shopping for a PSU or is PSU independent of the form factor
If you do advice me to upgrade tell me the best price/dollar PSU out there sufficient, to last me through an Athlon X2 and Geforce 7800GTX upgrade in the future.
Thanks a lot guys
