Computer Crashing while gaming
Alright, I'm gonna try to explain my story the best I can...
At first I had a Nvidia GeForce 5200 vid card, 512mb ram, 300 watt PSU. Everything was running fine, and I could play most games, just on low settings. After my video card failed (Don't know why, just pc wouldn't start up) I bought a new video card, a X1650 Radeon Pro, and pulled 512mb RAM from another pc. I was excited to start playing games and stuff again, but my pc kept crashing while gaming. So, I read a little and found out my Vid card needed 350 watts at the least  so I bought a 500 watt rosewill PSU.It finally came in, and I installed it and everything seemed ok. I played some FPS games, like counter Strike and Insurgency(which previously crashed with 300 watt PSU) with no problems at all. But, when I try playing MMORPG's like Requeim: Bloodymare and Rappelz, they both crashed. I was able to play Cabal for a long time, and no crash happened, but Cabal isn't as graphic heavy as the other two. So, is my video card overheating because of the better and more demanding graphics in Requeim and Rappelz, or is it something else? I also have my case open and a Mini Climate Keeper fan blowing on my graphics card(until my PCI fan comes in), and Room temp is prob 70F-73F most of the day. System Specs... PSU: 500 watts Rosewill RAM: 1gb Vid Card: x1650 Radeon Pro Mobo: AMD Sempron 2800+ ~2.0GHz OS: Windows XP Home Edition |
