Replace the broken fan (or PSU if that's what you meant by powerply).

If the fan in the PSU is not working then it will cause the computer to overheat and crash within a few minutes.

but i got a little fan too working and my case is open too and in this room is kind of cold ^^

**pharoah** · 07-10-2007, 01:03 PM

that may be true,but the power supply has no air blowing through it.whcih is most likely the problem.

What is happening is like when you try to plug to many things into one power strip. It starts to over heat and if you have a fail safe powerstrip it shuts off, but if your unlucky the cords heat up and can catch on fire. That is whats ahpping in your power supply. th fan is not pulling air over the power distributer and it is over heating, so to protect itself it cuts the power off.

My computer started acting funky when I had my Brood war disk in too, I just uninstalled it and figured it was because the disk was scratched up or something. I might buy it again depending on how ancy I get before SC 2
