Ok the title might be Misleading, but personally that's how i
see it. And this problem might have been posted here or somewhere
else, but problem is, i either
1) Can't Seem to Find it.
or
2) Couldn't Find it.
My computer can work Just Fine. Just Fine. But I normally game a
lot. like, A Lot.
Ever since *can't remember* after *can't remember* happened, My
computer started shutting down. Somewhere around last year, i
think, early Spring, or something... i don't know... but my
Computer was since 2007, so it can't be any earlier.
The Problem is... My Computer seems to shut down itself as if
someone pulled out the power plug, but only when it's under a lot
of stress(e.g.: Extracting from a large winrar file, playing
Fullscreen games<Stepmania works fine, though; but i can't even
play Half Life>, playing some large flash games, watching some
videos on fullscreen<even youtube videos on fulllscreen>,
etc...). I can't determine whether it's my Motherboard, CPU, PSU,
or Video Card. Can't be my RAM cuz i recently upgraded and changed
it. Checked the Temps. from Speedfan results and it seemed to be
temp 3(dunno which this is, probably my Video Card) and Core(the
first one. think this is my CPU, since it's the fastest to shoot up
when running stuff. and stuff...) that appear to be out of place.
my HDD's have ticks right beside them so they should be fine.
Right now i could either fix my computer or buy/build a new
one.
Things to note:
-I have a budget of $1650, and i can only do stuff next
Month/Year(Jan). Unless cost < 200.
-I'm a Student, if that helps in any way.
-I have no idea what info you need from me.
It's running on:
-AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+, ~2.4GHz
-Gigabyte GA-MA69VM-S2
-3326MB RAM
-Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3
(2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.091208-2036)
-NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT(512.0 MB)
Run GPU-Z and SpeedFan and turn on logging. They would log the
current temperatures into a text file every minute, so that after
your computer goes down, you can refer to the logs later and see
what is really overheating.
Reminder to all: keep discussions civil and stay on-topic.
