Random Shutdowns

ins0mn1ac · 10 Oct 2007 at 19:14

PC acting weird lately, basically it can shutdown at any time, in 3D apps its a little more frequent, I have my mind on the PSU at fault it is almost 2 years old but yeah, any other ideas before I bin it?

Athlon 4400
2Gb OCZ3200
1900xt
FSP something or other PSU

As I say been running fine for ages this has only started lately.

Sounds like the PSU to me, either grab a replacement or try putting in a less taxing graphics card.

Out of interest what PSU are you running?

I'm not 100% sure tbh, its an FSP 400W but I know it has enough juice, or DID have enough to run a 1900xt since its worked from when I first got the card back when it was released.

I guess its just slowly deteriorated and just cant handle it now.

Thing is though since this is the only internet access I have, I have to boot it to use it. Gna grab myself the OCZ in this weeks only! should tide me over at a budget.
