This one's for my friend whose e-mail address has been mysteriously banned from anandtech.

"I'm running an AMD Athlon 800mHz that has never given me issues before. I'm running WinME with an Elsa Gladiac GeForce 2 GTS video card. My problems are coming from running games. I try to load some games ("I'm Going In" for one) and it doesn't get past the loading screen, just a blue screen about "VMM(01)." Unreal Tournament sometimes gives me problems too, but not as many. I can't get PowerDVD to change resolutions anymore either. I'm running Detonator 7.13 drivers with DirectX 8, but I've also had Detonator 6.31 on and no success. This morning the computer started, got the WinME loading screen and looked like it was loading, but the hard drive just whirred and clicked. Someone told me it might be a Power Supply problem. I don't know where to start. Anything would help... Thanks a lot."
