Hello all...
I have been using my Gateway computer (Win98SE) with a home audio
recording card (Digi 001 with ProTools) which I installed myself.
Now, the problem I have is that sometimes, my computer will SHUT OFF
without any warning (as if someone PULLED THE PLUG from the wall) and
turn right back on, but losing any unsaved information.
At first, Gateway told me it's a virus (tried every antivirus)... then,
they told me I need to reinstall my system (which I did, foolishly...
still not fixed).
Then, I began to wonder if its my PSU? I've tried cooling my computer
tower (side door open) with an external fan. But, that even fails.
Now, I'm wondering if the PSU that came with the sytem (145W) is the
problem because the card that I installed (Digi001) is sucking up too
much power?
I am NOT computer savvy, so any suggestions/advice are welcome!
Thanks in advance!
