hey there everybody..
I have got a problem with my pc & despite trying everything i still haven't been able to pinpoint the exact problem so before i throw my PC outa window i thought about discussing it over here..i hope you guys do help me out!
My PC specifications are as follows:
AMD 3500+ (AM2)
MSI's nforce 410/430 K9N (Motherboard)
Kingston's 2GB DDR 2 RAM (667 MHz)
Seagate's Barracuda 250GB
XFX's 8800 GTS (320mb/320bit)
Cooler Master's 500W PSU
(apart from the other usual hardware stuff)
The problem is that my PC automatically shuts down whenever i try playing any game or any hardware intensive application ONLY..I have tried replacing the current RAM with the new one apart from re-installing updated drivers of my GPU but still it hasn't been of much use..now i do know that nothing's wrong with my GPU as i tried running games/applications on my integrated graphics chipset..neither there's any problem with the DIMMS or with their slots as well..I also installed a fresh copy of my OS but it didn't work either (i knew it wasn't going to be of much use but i did:S)
Could any of you help me out in narrowing down the faulty module(s) as i have tried doing whatever i could..Is it due to capacitor leakage in PSU/Motherboard or it has something to do with CPU/Motherboard? I need some direction as to the problem. If anyone could offer some concrete advice/assistance I'd truly appreciate it.
Thanks!
