Ok....so about a month ago i had a p4p800eduluxe..played ok for a while...cs : s running on it...so one day i turn cs s beta on and the game loads the map and boom..map loads...plays for 1/2 second, hangs for 1 second then restarts. Does this continually....eventually doesn't recognise ram..had ram tested..was fine..returned mobo....got new one month later..with new 3.2 GHZ p4.
Ok alls well in gaming ville, and i now play hl2 (----pld it for a whole week NO PROBLEMS what so ever). I discovered that i may be overdoing my pc with only a 320 watt psu..so i go buy a q-tec 450w dual fan. runs fine;my work was done;go to sleep. I wake up...NOOOOOOO Deja-vu! one month ago same ****! Loads hl2, 1 second runs and boom restart....so i tested EVERYTHING..found the source to be the gfx. i Ran hl2/cs:s with my nvidia 32 mb gfx from 5 years back..but it ran fine and with no new drivers (only xp default) and it lasted perm....19 fps mind you. So i uninstall drivers ..reinstall. Nope. Install omega drivers nope. Lower agp 8x->4x..then to 0x...and then disable fast write...NUDDA! Open mb bios tweak here and there in accordance to ati faq....nudda...same thing...WHY OH WHY! please someone help me out?
ok here goes specs:
3.2 Ghz p4 HT
1024 ram - 2x512 (corsair xms,..and ocz)
Serial ata hdd 120..blahblah..
450WATT psu
