PSU Problem, I Think.

[jono199]

On Playing some games my computer just restarts. By restarts I mean black screen and my intel logo then it continues to boot normally.

Im thinking that this is the PSU just because of the way it goes on me.

But if it were the PSU I think it would behave a little more predictably, for example UT2004 is fine all the time, BF1942 is fine - but DCX crashes out sometimes, this list goes on.

It could also be the mobo being a bit wierd or many other problems.

Any Ideas?

is your cpu running too hot?
have you overclocked your graphics card? and if so, is it overheating?
what ram do you have?

do u hav mixed brands of RAM? or different speeds?

 

[Raekwon]

also, what brand of PSU is it? because if its a cheap brand it could just as easily be the PSU that is causing the problems.

Right the CPU runs at 28 degress C, so that ain't to hot.

The graphics card is not overclocked at the moment (but it does the same thing overclocked or not)

the RAM is 2x512Mb of DDR 400 can't remember the brand.
