Thats your problem then. You need 26A to be safe. Get a new PSU ASAP. See PSU Info in my sig to help you choose.

EDIT: you are reading the 10A supply amps aren't you? ie 230V 10A. Can you open your machine and look at the sticker on it and tell us what the 12V rail Amps are? I cant find any info on this PSU.

Natherul · 03-18-2008, 12:45 PM

sticker tells me at +12V there is 25A

Natherul · 03-18-2008, 01:07 PM

might the PSU at Ace Raw Deal 520W 12cm Fan be good?

**FreoHeaveho** · 03-18-2008, 01:44 PM

You need a corsair HX520W or similar.

Copilot · 03-19-2008, 12:23 AM

I am having a problem like this but it isn't lag because it happens on singleplayer games.

Open up task manager and go to performance and then play your game and after one of the lag spikes happens alt tab out and look at the performance chart and see if the CPU usage went to the very top when the spike was happening.

then you can see the lag on a pretty chart....

Copilot · 03-21-2008, 01:38 PM

Internet lag shouldn't show up on that chart though.

Natherul · 03-25-2008, 09:53 AM

i got myself a Corsair Hx620 watts now and i gonna look l8er today if it works better, see when i first installed it my mothercard went to the comp-heaven or something...

**FreoHeaveho** · 03-25-2008, 10:16 AM

Good choice mate, either way it will set you up for the future.

Natherul · 03-25-2008, 10:30 AM

i forgot to say that the motherboard i have no is identical so i would not have to have fuzz with microsoft.... well i can tell ya also now that i still have the problems at least in Supreme Commandder....what in the name of ... is wrong?

Natherul · 03-25-2008, 03:11 PM
