el_rob3 Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 hi guys,my PC {intel P4 2.8 , 256 RAM , MSI MB} is shutting down and sometimes restarting when trying to load hi applications like games(i.e GTA) and when it operates for long time period it can sutting down too.what do you think about that problem? what can i do or change to regain my PC?
dman Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 Maybe it is going into thermal shutdown? Is the CPU fan spinning ok and the cooling fins clean of dust?
Bigbrit Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 Could be the power supply that is down on power output (try a 350 watt+) or as mentioned previously a CPU fan problem.If it is the fan and you never want to change it again, look at the:Zalman CNPS7000-CU or the 7700 (even bigger)Massive copper fan with a big fan a 775 pin adaptor when you decide to upgrade.BigBrit
el_rob3 Posted June 19, 2005 Author Posted June 19, 2005 thnx for replyingyes i just clean and check CPU fan and fins its OK
dman Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 (edited) any error messages? You ran chkdsk and checked for bios & driver updates, especially video card? Edited June 19, 2005 by dman
Gouki Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 Check the RAM. Does this happen when u try loading stuff that require more RAM? Like games, heavy aplications?
Lost Soul Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 id definatly check to see what hidden processes are running in the back ground and try to cut back on the ones you dont need
