Shadowmarkus · 12-11-2008, 05:17 PM

Well, the thing that happen, it can be anytime, the screen goes black, and the little light goes orange (not connected), and my music stops, and im telling you that because that must mean my computer is the one which stops, BUT, the light is still on, the fans and so are still going, so i got no idea what it is, i checked all power options, so it's not that..

Specs:
Ati Radeon HD 4800 512 Graphics Card
4GB Ram
Amd Phenom 9850 Quad-Core Processor, 2.5GHZ
Rasurbo 530W ATX PSU

Anyone who can help me?:)

(This also happen overnight, when im botting WoW overnight so annoying!:(

The Rasurbo 530W PSU might not be strong enough for your computer. Check the label on the side of the PSU to see how many amps are listed for +12V. If it's less than 28A you will need to upgrade.

Enter your full system specs into this power calculator and add 30% to the total to allow for PSU inefficiency.

Check your power-saving options in BIOS and Control Panel > Power Options.
