| 1258601 | 2012-02-11 04:37:00 | My brothers computer jams up when playing a game with heaps of things happening, then the computer re boots. That is the graphics card right? The Hardrive is a really old 35 GB IDE hardrive is that the problem? I don't think it is. Do you guys know what it is? :nerd: | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
| 1258602 | 2012-02-11 04:45:00 | Could be, possibly overheating Graphics or CPU. Run furmark to check graphics temps under load and do a visual inspection for dust etc inside the case, make sure fans are spinning freely | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1258603 | 2012-02-11 04:50:00 | What are your temps like (seeing as you have a fanless gpu)? Also what psu do you have? Even though it doesnt require external power the psu might not have the amperage or something. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1258604 | 2012-02-11 04:59:00 | Could be any one of the following: Over Heating Faulty Graphic Card Power Supply failing under to much load Memory Failing Motherboard failing HDD Failing CPU failing Take your pick, you may need to inspect one at a time till you find the culprit, Only change one thing at a time, as if you change any more and it fixes it, you wont know which was causing the Problem |

| 1258605 | 2012-02-11 06:28:00 | Thanks guys. By the way it's my brothers pc. I'm lucky it's not mine! | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
| 1258606 | 2012-02-11 07:35:00 | Thanks guys. It was the RAM. I put in a different stick and made the difference! | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
| 1258607 | 2012-02-11 07:52:00 | I would be checking how full that hard drive is too as that could be an issue too | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1258608 | 2012-02-11 11:22:00 | For an older PC, the PSU (if cheap) will usually have failed capacitors. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1258609 | 2012-02-11 20:23:00 | The hardrive is quite full. What makes it worse is that it is an old 35GB IDE! It's working fine now. |
