what are you running
video card
cpu
m/board
ram
power supply
brand
wattage

check the listings in the bios for voltages and temperatures and post them

to turn off the auto reboot
control panel /system/advanced/startup and recovery settings
then untick the auto reboot box
post any bsod error messages the computer freezes on in full

power supply details take the side off the case and look at the label

in the device manager uninstall the video card
reboot tapping f8 and choose vga mode
when windows finishes rebooting
disable a/virus
install your drivers
reboot the computer

Vic082 · 03-09-2009, 01:02 PM

A'ight , im not really sure if my power supply is the problem , since it crashes even with simple games like Lord of the rings the battle for middle earth , released in 2004 , doesnt have that much graphics , and it crashes on the second time.

but well , im not a hardware expert right? hehehe

anyways

my power supply is a normal stabilizator , its actually connected with 2 stabilizators , to work like an extenction of the one feeding the PC.

but the thing is , the stabilizator making the connection is also connected with my xbox 360 , so it might be a problem , i might need to buy a good No-break , since where i live , PSU's arent really cheap.

the stabilizators are normal ones , cheap . so it might be the problem , idk honestly

Vic082 · 03-09-2009, 04:24 PM

Ok i did everything possible omfg

i uninstalled my drivers , turned in safe mode , then cleaned it out with DC Pro , than i did what you told me , turned in VGA and stuff , didnt worked

the video still gets fuzzy when i start it for the second time , crashing.

so i guess its my power supply eh? i mean it IS the power supply

but ffs the only PSU that i can afford at the moment is the "Huntkey 550w"

maybe this will be enough , or another one a little cheaper 500w

well its not that im poor lol , its because in brazil everything is freaking expensive =o

but if it doesnt , i think i can hang out on the pc for awhile until i have the cash

Vic082 · 03-10-2009, 12:13 PM

eh wonderful , it seems that i made it obvious that im a complete noob when related to computers

rofl

anyway i found out , my PSU is a 450W , it came along with my case

plus , since it came with the case , i dont even know if its a true 450W

anyways , im about to either buy a power supply of 500W or 550W

what do you think?

dai · 03-10-2009, 02:09 PM
