hello all..new to forums..i have avery confusing problem with my pc..it keeps shutting down when i open up an application suck as adaware,photoshop, even my games
i thought it might be my power supply so i went and bought a new 400w supply to no avail..after it shuts down it emits an audible tone high, low, high, low, high, low, and continues until i unplug my power supply cord..after this happens i have to wiat about an hour or so before i can even get back to desktop..its like if it encounters a load (opening applications) it shuts down..but not all the time..some nights i can stay on it for hours without it doing it but others 10 minutes tops and it shuts down
the specs are as follows:
machspeed 400dbl mobo
amd xp2800
512mb 333 fsb ddr pc2700
geforce 4 ti4200
western digital 80gb 7200rpm
any help would be appreciated
