Hi.
I am dealing with a really tricky problem and if I can get some help I
would be superhappy.
My PC has started to powerdown itself randomly. It powers down
completely and when I hit the powerbutton on the case nothing happens.
I have to pull the power cord, wait for like five seconds, reconnect
it an voila, it works again.
It first started to happen when I played a game, and happened a couple
of times. I have been trying to locate a pattern in when it happens
and recently when I tried to tranfer a folder containing 1.5 gig to my
xbox it just shut down several times before it finished.
Last week I turned it in to the shop where I bought almost all of the
parts just a month ago or two. They told that it was the graphics card
(which was the only part i didnt buy in their store ofcourse!) they
changed it and charged me 100 dollars. I felt like i was ripped off
but if it worked i would accept it ofcourse. When i came home with the
pc it was just the same again.
Now I have turned it in once again and feel really depressed about it
all because the shop doesnt seem to find any problem either since it
happens randomly.
I think it might be the psu, since ever the fans in the psu stops when
the computer shuts off.
Do you have any suggestions? I would really appreciate help on this
one, thanks.
This is my setup:
Mobo: Abit vt7 (800mhz bus) (2 months old)
CPU: Intel P4 3.0ghz 512cache boxed (2 months old)
mem: A-data memory soultion 1gb dualchannel DDR400 (correctly
installed)
memory (two months old)
HD:Hitachi 180gb 180gxp 8mb cache
PSU: Q-tec 400W dual gold
DVDRW: NEC 2500
video adapter ATI radeon 9200se
Audio: creative audigy
thankful for help
