damn blackouts again!!! i dont understand this, a while ago i had posted about half life 2 crashing, or auto rebooting after a short time of playing, its been a few months since then, and i tried half life 2 again, seemed to last a little longer, in fact it did, id say about half an hour, and it still crashes. no clue. i remember when the game ran just beautifuly after i first built the pc, i have no idea what happened. now...i just tried playing the new FEAR demo, and during the conversations at the beginning, my monitors blacked out, and the computer rebooted, i tried again, launching the shortcut blacked them out again....tried a 3rd time after about an hour, i get into the game...walk around for about 5 minutes, then it blacks out again, no boot, just blacks out, i have to manually reset. what the heck is going on??? its certainly not tempature, and i cant try another video card cause this is the only pcie grahix card i got. anybody have any ideas? thx by the way, my video card drivers are brand new as of yesterday, forceware version 78.01
The only thing i can think of is a PSU problem! What PSU are you running and is it possible to test it in another computer?
Is it possible to test it in another computer? OR do you have another power supply to test in your computer?
it is possible, however, the other psus i have are much lower than this one, the closest one i have is an antec trueblu 480W
i would of said that the antec trueblu 480W is better than the modstream 520 (ocz) antec is a much better brand aswell, i think.
