Hi , I'm running an Asus p5k motherboard with nv geforce 8600 desktop
whenever i run any ram intensive (mostly video games: team fortress 2, WoW, Left 4 Dead, etc etc) my computer crashes. Most of the time my computer completely shuts down as soon as i launch the games. In reponse to that, i've tried scanning the hard drive, cleaning out all the dust within the tower with canned air, and many other things until i tried lowerng running the games while windows is on powersaving mode. While running on max. power saving mode on the AI suite by asus, comp doesn't crash when the games start up but crashes awhile after.. (say.... 10min?) . I'm wondering what wrong with my tower.. and how much $ am i looking at in order to fix it. What the little knowledge in hardwares for PC.. i'm guessing somethings wrong with the power supply..... can anyone helps? ^^
Edit: Another guess of mine is that electricity isn't being supplied throughout the tower evenly?
Much Thanks,
Derrick
