hi there,
this is more like a general hardware question.
my computer:
MB: P4S8X
CPU: P4 2.5
GC: Ati Radeon 9700 non-pro latest drivers ( catalyst 4.1 )
SC: Creative Sound Blaster live 2 player
Speakers: Creative Inspire 6.1
Ram: 512
HD: Ibm Deskstar 120gbx 80gb
Power Source: 350W
this problem happen on my both OS's Windows XP and RedHat 9 on separated partitions.
1: sometimes both OS's dont recognise the sound card. its just like it isnt there. in linux whenever i try to play a dvd the sound cames out from the speakers like "bumps" (sorry the wrong expression, but im not that good in english ).
2: in the last couple of months the power source makes sometimes a very strange large sound like a motor bike (but not as loud).
3: the hard drive makes a loud cute sound, that it didnt make at the beguining.
4: MB and CPU are allways about 50º of temperature (celcius).
the entire computer has about a year now, so it is rather new, but are all these problems due to the power source? i mean, maybe if i buy a new one with more power (say 450w or somethin), would it solve the problems?
thanks in advance.
PS: sorry the bad english.
