Gday all.PC keeps spazzing out .. overheating?
Hi all.
Im extreme pc nublet please bare with me. Lately my pc has been spazzing out when I play any games with decent graphics.By spazzing out I mean Ill be in the middle of a game everything working fine then whammo pc just go skitz.. black screen non responsive. Anyways after snooping around the forums I found out how to do a temp check fan check etc.. The voltages seem fine but 1 thing I have noticed is that the cpu fan is fine but the chassis fan says n/a. could this be my problem? What sort of fan//parts will I need to get to fix this? Pc specs are. 2.8 gb cpu asus p4s800 mobo 512mb pc3200 ddr-sdram fx5200 vid sound blaster audigy no idea on psu thanks in advance Sicks

Try gaming with the side of the case off and a large fan blowing into it. That helps nail down a heat problem. Also get a some compressed air and blow out the fans and power supply and check the video card fan. The 5200's run hot and have a very high failure rate. A cheap or under powered power supply can also cause those problems. Also update your video driver.
