Okay, I'm pretty sure that my problem is my power supply, because it's one of those comes-with-the-case deals, and when I turn off the "restart on fatal error" option so I can get a blue-screen instead, it still restarts when I'm gaming.
I thought I'd run my problem by you guys as well, because it could be a heat issue as well.
So, here's the voltage specs for my comp when it's idle. My PSU is an unknown 400W poopile.
3.3 - 3.26
+5.0 - 5.08
+12.0 - 11.75
-12.0 - 11.57
That seams a bit low to me. Here is what I'm running:
P4 2.8 GHZ
MSI Neo-2 PLS Model MS-6728 Mobo
1.0 GB PC3200 DDR RAM
BFG Tech Nvidia 256MB GeForce 6800 GT OC
Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card
This issue started when I upgraded my video card from an MSI 256MB GeForce 5700 VTD, to the GeForce 6800 which needs to be plugged in. By plugging the card in, I've had to split the power twice, which can't be a good sign. I checked my temp when these restarts occured and my case temp and cpu temp don't seem to be horribly off.
Any advice would be great! :hotouch:
