Hi all!
So my pc has been up and running perfectly without any problems for under 2 years now. But ever since last week my computer has been randomly turning itself off.
Sometimes it happens once or twice in about 8 hours, and sometimes it happens 3-4 times in a row in just a few minutes.
I know its not the ram as the computer would usually reset,crash or give me a bluescreen. Im using a good 400w PSU but its around 4 years old.
I have checked the CPU temperature and it seems fine, around the 52 degree mark. The fan speeds are fine.
I checked the voltages and someone told me the 12v is a bit low.
Current values are:
Vcore - 1.39
+3.3 - 3.49
+5.0 - 4.95
+12.0 - 11.65
I then realized I had installed new gfx drivers for my radeon x1600 card last week (when the problems first started occuring). So I am thinking this has something to do with the random shut downs. This guy then told me that th problem is due to the "PCI-E power draw".
Does anyone know what steps I can do to fix this? should uninstall my gfx card drivers and get older ones? help!
