I have been trying to figure out the problem of my other computer for a while now. The computer worked before around april of 09.
I'm a gamer, and after I installed WoW and tried to play it my computer went to hell. The entire thing would shut off after i played for a certain time, and if i got back on to start playing again it would just give me less and less time, until eventually it just wouldnt even turn on.
when it gets to the point where it won't turn on (which is where i'm at now) the fan goes berserk and makes a loud noise, and the computer doesn't work at all. Most recently though, the problem i've been having is being stuck in power-save mode on the monitor. I tried dusting and switching the ram cards around.
I have a feeling the problem has something to do with the video card heating up, it cooled down relatively quickly after i removed it from my computer and set it down in a safe place at room temperature.
The only option I am seeing right now is to leave the case open while I try to use it. I don't know all the facts, but it seems like not a very safe thing to do.
I would really appreciate any help or feedback on my current solution idea (case open) or any new ideas that might solve my problem.
Thanks for reading =)
