Serious problem with my pc on launching a game

Abdallah1 · 06-23-2009, 06:38 AM

I have a problem with my computer at the moment its an :-
-M2V motherboard
-4770 ATI video graphics card
-4 gigs of DDR2 RAMs
-Duo Core 2 processor
-a 470W power supply
-a 300gigs of SATA hardrive(new)
-vista 32-bit home prem

1st thing i used my old installation before i bought the following mentioned on the top which the old ones are:-
-2 gigs of RAMs
-Nvidia 7600 GT
-Duo Core 2 processor(same)
-M2v Motherboard(same)
-a 230W power supply
- a 300gigs of sata hardive(old one)
-vista 32-bit home prem

i got heaps of errors 1st i used to run WoW with music on the background, IE7 opened, ventrillo and a video music file at the same time after i logged into the game it was running fine until after 10 mins a blue screen came up with physical memmory to disk process and rebooted and it keeps doing that again...COD5 runs well till it got to reboot in 5 mins of gameplay...and crysis was wurse 1 min. I tried reformating the disk and reinstalling vista but still...the same error.

However, after i got the new equipment installed i tried to do the same thing again..and the same process came up to me and said physical dump to disk and the next trial came out to be a weird buzzing noise and rebooted by itself without a warning.So i went to the technician at austin computer and told me the next day that it has something to do with the drivers and he updated it and everything and once i got the pc back home...the same process came again after i installed vista to my new hardrive...any ideas of whats going on?

Try pulling the side cover off. Grab a fan and point it right at the processor. Then start it up and see how long it lasts...

Also try blowing the dust "bunnies" out with a can of ]Compressed Air.

It sounds as though the CPU is over-heating; as that is the only system spec that has remained the same between the two different machines......

also running your PC on a 470 W PSU is not a good idea at all
you need something like this:

Corsair 650 W, 100$, 80$ after rebate

Sven2157, i tried doing the way you have said but it still doing the same process...well im guessing it might be not enough power in it like RockmasteR suggested...but thanks for helping Sven2157 that might have worked but it hasent

if there any other possiblilities other than the ones you suggested guys let me know might be really helpful

I agree with RockmasteR, it looks like you've encountered a PC technician with no knowledge on PC's. I am very sorry you had to encounter this.

I don't know why I always think of this too, late, but......

If you take a gander here....

You will notice that the PSU MINIMUM is 450W. Though you have a 470W PSU, your video card is using ALL 450W, and leaving the other 30W for your system. The CPU requires a bit more punch as well....

<-- for Rockmaster, as your system is GRAVELLY under-powered!

You need a bigger PSU.......

I've talked to RockmasteR about his PSU situation and he needs to frive 2 hours to get a decent PSU in a big city. It sucks for him.
