Hi Guys,
I'm having a problem where my PC just turns off, no close down, just straight off.
It runs fine doing regular Windows stuff, but crashes all the time in EVE and TSO and sometimes (but a whole lot less regulary in other games including more graphically intense ones).
I understand that this is usually a power/cooling issue, but having checked everything I can think (including reseating the CPU with extra coolant gel) I still can't ditch the problem.
Having read other posts on various forums it seems as though the GFX card could be the problem.
My system is:
AMD Athlon 64 3200
1024mb DDR Ram
Asus A8V MX Mobo
Thermaltake Purepower 680w PSU
XFX GeForce 6800GT
Using onboard sound (AC 97 I think!)
Any help you guys can give would be much appreciated! You can actually see me in my desk where I've been slamming my face into it in frustration!
Cheers!
Hap
