pc hang problem

masr2099 · 08-06-2007, 11:18 AM

Hi Guys I'm new here I have a problem with my new pc, it hangs suddenly without an explanation. My pc shuts down and I have to restarted with the power button. It happens not in an specific time or using an specific application.I've thimking if it could be a psu problem or a overheating problem.These are my specs.

Proc: intel Core 2 Duo E6600
MOBO: Intel DG965WH
memory: 2x kingston 1G 800 (total memory 2G)
graphic card: EVGA 8800 GTS 320 superclocked
Power supply: 500 Watts generic
Hard drive:Samsung spinpoint 500G Sata 3G

Please help me I'm thinking about buying an antec trio 550 but I want to be sure about my problem.

Thank you very much

go with the antec trio 650w the card pulls 173w on it's own

redsunx · 08-06-2007, 12:37 PM

Well, the psu MAY be one problem but, did your gts come 'superclocked' or did you do it yourself?

masr2099 · 08-06-2007, 01:23 PM

It came superclocked by default...

redsunx · 08-06-2007, 01:28 PM

Hmmmmm, try underclocking it a little bit like 25mhz on the gpu and 15mhz on the memory clock

masr2099 · 08-06-2007, 02:41 PM

I´ll try it....could you tell me if there is a way to test my pc...
something else I forgot is that my gpu temp is usually between 60-70 °C...I don't know what is the maximum temp threshold for my video card

redsunx · 08-06-2007, 05:18 PM

What do you mean by 'test' and are those your temps at idle?

masr2099 · 08-06-2007, 07:10 PM

yes, these are my tems at idle. When I'm playing it could be 80C. For example I just quit playing lost planet and my temp is 75°C.
Isn't it normal. I live in a very hot city with average temps of 30-32°C

redsunx · 08-06-2007, 07:28 PM

Oh wow.... those temps are blazing my gtx doesn't run nearly that hot 40 idle 50-60 load
I would make the clocks lower now, oh and get speedfan so before you game maybe kick up the fans and just increase general airflow see if that helps

masr2099 · 08-07-2007, 01:20 AM

Could you please me some hints in order to decrease my temperature. ow many fans do I have to put or what else can i do??

redsunx · 08-07-2007, 08:16 AM

Have you gotten speedfan?

dai · 08-07-2007, 12:23 PM

redsunx
he is refering to the gpu temp not the cpu
go with the 650w trio

redsunx · 08-07-2007, 01:27 PM

dai, i know he should get speedfan so he can kick up his fans to increase overall air flow

dai · 08-07-2007, 01:42 PM

from what i have seen posted 75 would be in the normal range for a gpu

redsunx · 08-07-2007, 02:17 PM

that would cook right on the spot though......

masr2099 · 08-07-2007, 02:22 PM

yes i got sppedfan what shoul I do now?

redsunx · 08-07-2007, 03:15 PM

Thanks dai, now when it starts up make the boxes on the lower left set to 100%. Your computer will get loud, but don't worry thats just your fans doing there job, after that play a game for a while see if your temps cooled down any

Woah, going to have to check out my own temps is nvidia wrong? who knows.

masr2099 · 08-08-2007, 08:35 AM

I'll do it and I'll tell you what happens...I have another questions:
How many additional fan should I buy...another question is that Dai advised me to buy the trio PSU but i wanna now if the psu could have a role in my pc recent hangs.

masr2099 · 08-08-2007, 08:35 AM

I have noted too that my cpu temp is about 53°C...Is that normal???
