Hello ppl
i have a very unusal problem wit my pc. It works fine when i am surfing or watching movies etc.. but wen i play games is shut off abruptly without any warning....
plzz help me guy my pc is just 14 days old
my configration is

AMD X2 5600+
Asus M2N-MX-SE PLUS
Total 2GB DDR2 RAM (Two 1GB DDR2 RAM DUAL CHANNEL)
LG DVD WRITER SATA
SEGATE 250 GB HARD DRIVE SATA
400 Watts Power supply
 
1. What exactly do you mean by "shut off abruptly"? Do you mean the game is crashing to the desktop with an error message, or something worse?
2. What video card do you have?
3. What games are you trying to play?
4. Have you downloaded the latest video drivers for your video card?
 
i hav asus m2n-mx-se plus motherboard it has an on board Nvidia Geforce 6150 se.
See when i play Fifa 08 after 20 odd minutes the computer shuts its self off without any warning or any error message then i can start my comp by pressing the on button.
It doesn't go to desktop rather it just switches off....
I jus bought the comp so i got the cd for drivers i think it must be upto date.
i even had my mother board as well as powersupply unit replaced.

Click to expand...

Good idea, please re-confirm that

Please press the green button (using Internet Explorer browser), to update your drivers


Sorry, it seems you must do this twice, once here, then when you get to Asus support, click it again. This button uses JavaScript (which is enabled by default on most browsers)
 
ok dude
i will try this....
do u think 400 watts is enuf for my configration
coz i seriusly doubt my psu ....
but as u say i will try updating my drivers ....
 
Every support guy on this forum says 400Watts is enough for just about everything.
Personnally I have a 650Watt

I don't think I should advise you on this, (even though I say 650 !!)
 
Your PSU may be the problem, especially if its a rubbish brand like Apevia, Deer, Raidmax etc. Post all the information from the PSU sticker. A typical PSU sticker looks like this. Also, you should consider getting a separate video card, since that integrated one isn't really made for games.
 
hey,,,,
its XTECH power supply unit
and rest info is abt +12 v and all
it also say 400 Watts
I had my PSU replaced dude but still problem is there....
 
Watching DVD's takes VERY LITTLE cpu or ram resources. Gaming takes LOTS!

I would check the cpu temps while gaming and would suggest you use Everest under Computer, Sensor to do so.

If your cpu doesn't appear too hot, then your ram should be checked running Memtest86 or similar.

400 watts is lots for what you have.
 
77C is very hot. Your PC is turning off so that the CPU does not get damaged. Put some fans in your case ASAP or buy an aftermarket cooler for your CPU.
 
If your PC is 14 days old it must have warranty. Get them to fix it.

IF you built it, then I suggest checking the cpu heatsink again - ie, did you apply a small amount of paste and is it firmly attached, does the fan work, etc?
 
dude i did it all...
i even took it to the vendor
he tried a fan which he had even for that it overheated and shut off....
so he replaced my mother board....
the paste is also applied....
and my cabinet has 2 fans for ventilation
he fan is also running properly....
everything seems to be proper wen i don't play game :(
 
I repeat, if your PC is 14 days old it must have warranty. Get them to fix it.

There IS a problem and it has to be fixed BUT if you mess around bye-bye warranty.
