Alright to start off every time my cat walks by the front of my computer it restarts...funny yes i know. I finally learned that its my power button and restart button. For some reason when I touch them they shock me and the computer restarts. Not to mention every time this happens I can't just hit the power button to turn in back on again, or unplug power cord from power supply...I have to open up my case and unplug the p1 connector from the mobo and then plug it back in?! Any ideas? Seems like a case or motherboard problem.
Alight after putting up for this for a few times one of the times I got clumsy and forgot to unplug the power cord or turn off the power supply switch before I yanked out the p1 connector to do my daily routine. The computer blinked on and off about 10 times and then shut off. yay! Ever since around this time I've started having hardware issues. First issue i noticed was when I open up WoW for the first time after my computer being idle for awhile the mouse image will freeze on the screen but I can still see it highlight buttons and so forth I just can't see where it is because the image is frozen on the screen. I restart comp and play again, doesn't do it. This happens everytime I come home from being idle for awhile. It only occurs on WoW.
Next I get this marine aquarium screen saver thing...every time the screen saver starts it restarts my comp...Then when my computer finishes rebooting a Microsoft message pops up saying you have experienced a Critical Error that says something about my graphics card drivers lopping themselves or something and the solution is to update drivers or replace video card. Well I have the newest drivers so yeh...(I would tell you exactly what error said but I have a different video card in my comp now and it seems to work fine.) I uninstall it and use another screen saver and its all good. The screen saver works fine on my parents computer.
So I install Rainbow Six 3 Raven Shield on my comp today and it works fine until I quit the game and then it gives me an error message which is made up of a bunch of code that I can't read. It gives me option to Cancel, Send Report, and one other...No matter which one I decide to click my comp restarts.
As of right now my plans are to send my graphics card back hoping that will solve all my problems. Like I said it seems to run fine with my new graphics card in there. Have any suggestions before I send it back? Also any ideas on the shocking I get when I or anything else touches the power and restart switch? If you made it this far then I thank you for reading
Edit: Case is X-Dreamer II and it didn't use to shock my cat or anything else the first few months I had it.
