What is the make/model of the PC. If custom built then post the rest of the specs.

MB-PSU brand/wattage

 

[NightmareDGX]

well its not custom
i just bought the video card and extra ram
and im not sure what other specs i can see

 

[Tyree]

Open the case and look at the label on the PSU for the Brand Name and Model Number.

 

[wickedsick]

download CPUID. it gives u info about your computer specs. except for the PSU.

 

[makinu1der2]

If this is an OEM PC then just post the make/model (Dell,HP,Gateway,etc)

Check Device Manager and make sure all drivers installed without problems (chipset,graphics,etc)

What graphics were you using before?

 

[NightmareDGX]

geforce 8400 gs
and i already installed the chipset and all

 

[greenbrucelee]

yes but is the computer a del or a HP or some other make we can help you if you tell us what computer you have.

dell oh and 1 more thing when i lower the resolution the system seems to run better tho the sound still gets messed up

 

[NightmareDGX]

sorry i made a mistake
here are the full details
my computer is Intel
my motherboard model is GIGABYTE G31m-ES2L im not sure what Revision if any
CPU 2140 @ 1.60GHz
4 GB of ram
Part of the problem might be that my battery is 500w limited maybe its too low for the Videocard because i didnt need to plug the previous video card into the battery but this i did
so if any other info needed i got SIW so hope you can help me

 

[greenbrucelee]

yes you are correct and btw you mean power supply not battery. You should be running a quality power supply unit such as the corsair 550vx.

 

[Tyree]

We suggest a good quality 550W minimum for any PCI-E GPU.

 

[NightmareDGX]

sorry im russian so i wasnt sure how you say power supply
umm so its all about that? if i get the 550w
that would be end of story no more problems?
like will my proccesor and motherboard suffice?

 

[greenbrucelee]

it meay not be the root cause of your problem because we cannot see what is happening but it certaily will stop you from having any other power related issues.

 

[NightmareDGX]

i just bought an awesome power supply 550w
and nothing has changed... im really frustrated i dont know what to do anymore
anyone have any other advices? please help

 

[makinu1der2]

Can you post the temp and voltage readings from the BIOS (look for PC Health Status)

What are the specs of the RAM you installed? (model number will do)

 

[NightmareDGX]

i have no idea how to check it man....

 

[NightmareDGX]

1 more question i recently put a new processor it was 1.60GHZ
put a pentium(R) Dual core cpu e5800 @ 3.20GHZ
when i open the system window the rating stays the same and it says
that i have 3.20GHZ 1.60GHz what does that mean?

 

[Tyree]

Posibly the new CPU is not compatible with the Mobo. OEM PC's use Mobo/Bios made for them and they will not accept all the same CPU's as the retail version.
Brand & Model of the 550W PSU you bought?
