Another problem...

Postby Gunny04 » Mon Nov 27, 2006 10:05 pm

Okay I am VERY mad.... Once in a while when I do something.... my computer will blue screen and restart.... its driving me nuts to say the least. I thought it might be my ram.... but could it also be a PSU about to give out? Sometimes the computer just restarts and no blue screen

Random restarts I have found to be due to two things. 1 Failing PSU, or 2 Overheating. Most likely your problem is the dying PSU.

Could be overheating I did screw with the Heatsink... though it appears well within limits..... prolly this crappy 300 watt PSU (Prolly a true 250 lol)

Thanks for the input!
