hi i'm having a progressively worse problem with a new pc.
it started with a just a quick glitch on the monitor as if the power had been cut for a tiny fraction of a second. Next i started getting random reboots within a few minutes of startup and now the thing won't boot fully and crashes before windows satrts up.
I've had a quick look though the random reboots troubleshooter but i'm not sure it can explain why the problem has got progressively worse.
i' running
athlon 64 4000+
nforce4 6100chipset mobo
2 gigs 3200 ram
7600gt
dvd rewriter
the thought process i've gone through is as follows;
? psu- possibly but 450w should be plenty according to the power calculator link on the other post
? overheat on the gpu- no graphical glitches, checked the temps whilst running oblivion and it was fine
?cpu overheat- shouldn't overheat on boot should it?
? mobo problem- bios runs fine, memory check ok
sorry if htis post seems dumb but i'm new to these techie things
thanks in advance
