I really begin to think that it just might be the PSU, I cant reproduce the "error" ..it is all so random..
hmm any way to fix the PSU ? or do I really have to buy a new one ? :confused:
well the only problem is, I cant connect my Sata drive to the psu.. :(
btw, I tried to install the driver that came with the x1800xt.. after the install I benchmarked many times, with many benchmarks, played HL2.. etc.. no shutdown.. but +12v went down to 11.712 many times but it didnt shut...
I dont know someone with a 20+4 psu.. but I got a decent 20 pin atx around here.. somewhere.. hmm Antec Truepower 480W, might that work ? but I dont want to kill my mobo..:(
my temperatures:
CPU: idle- 32°c, load- 41°c
MB: idle- 28°c, load 29°c
GPU: idle- 51°c, load 58°c
quite cool, no overheating
I know that small drops on the PSU is "okay" , when I dun run a game its still jumping from 11.904 to 11.84 non-stop.. but the drops I'm talking about are...
on software its like .5 offset.. but still it shouldnt drop, am I right? and I clearly see drops.. from 11.949v to 11.711v .. I dont need a multimeter to see that this is not right.. :(
What else could be the cause for the shutdowns ? (remember only in games.. or 3d benchs..)
Hello, this is my first post here..
I bought high-end hardware for my dream machine, build it together, ran into few problems but could solve them.. (nothing to worry about)
Then I installed Windows XP SP2 Pro, and ran 3DMark05.. after few minutes my system turns off.. my first tought...
