New case transfer/comp freeze up

[kahos_angel]

Hello,

I just recently transfered my whole computer into a new case, after hooking everything up (including two new led fans), the computer ran for about 5-10 minutes and then froze with no apps running. I rechecked my connections and they were in the right spot but it did it again. I'm thinking that the 350w PSU I have just isn't cutting it, but I can't be sure. If anyone could help I'd really appreciate it.

350 watts is too weak for today's systems, however, this would cause other errors such as random shutdowns, spontaneous reboots, and frequent blue screens of death, not system freezes.

first thing you should do is remove your RAM chips and blow out any dust from the RAM slots using compressed air, then carefully reseat the RAM chips, see if this fixes it.

when you transferred your system, did you clean your components?

I cleaned most of it. but I transfered the mobo in tact without taking the heatsink/fan off or taking the ram out. I'll try that and see if it works.

Thanks for the tip. This will at least keep me working till I can scrape up enough cash to get a decent PSU.
