System Shut Down!!

dolu297 · 10-08-2009, 01:27 PM

Hi guyz, whenever i try playing a game d system shuts down after like 10 or 15 min. I have never experienced this problem before.

I recently got my x1950 pro card replaced from ati and got a x1950xt in return. The earlier card was giving no output. I then installed the new card and this problem has been an issue since then.

what are the specs of your system including brand and wattage of your power supply.

dolu297 · 10-09-2009, 07:38 AM

d specs are as follows:

ASUS P5W DH Deluxe
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz
Cooler Master Extreme Power 600Watt {Cross Fire Ready}
2 Gb DDr2 Kingston Ram
Vista Ultimate 32bit
ATI Radeon X1950xt 512MB

did you build this system yourself?

This looks like some sort of heat issue, check that the heatsink is properly installed and that it is tight against the cpu.

Heat is usually caused by a few things: heatsink not in correctly, too much or too little thermal paste, not enough cooling, bad power supplies and yours isn't one of the best.
