I've Had This Problem Before
Hi Guys. I had this problem ages ago, where my computer kept restarting unexpectedly, quite often. I sent it away, as it was still under warranty, they said it had a faulty motherboard, and so they replaced it. I noticed the restarting had stopped, but sometimes, it still does restart unexpectedly, its always when Im on a 3D game. I always thought it was my power supply, even before i sent it away, becuase its a very low rated power supply for my specification. Justwondering if ne1 has any suggestions, and agrees with me if its the power supply. BTW, THE POWER SUPPLY IS A POWERMAN 250W.
CHEERS FOR ALL HELP AND SUGGESTIONS
Here are my specs:
AMD Athlon XP 2700+ (2.17GHz)
nVIDIA nFORCE 2 MSI Motherboard
512MB RAM (128MB OF THIS MEMORY ALLOCATED TO INTEGRATED GRAPHICS CARD)
GEFORCE 4 MX 128MB
120GB HARD DRIVE
56K MODEM
CD/CDRW + DVD/DVDRW
REMOVABLE MEDIA DRIVES (MMC,COMPACT, MEM STICK PRO, SMART MEDIA)
WIN XP HOME EDITION
