| 653724 | 2008-03-28 17:39:00 | Issue 1 . 7800gtx 2gig ram AMD643200 200gig HDD My computer froze up and blue screened once , then after reseting it, it froze up again yet there was no blue screen, just black with a very weird noise coming from the computer, might have been the power supply or Hard drive I honestly couldn't tell because the sound was so weird . It just now froze up in a video game for a bout 20 seconds then cleared up and did not blue screen or black out on me . . imageshack . us/img137/6117/dsfsdvs7 . jpg" target="_blank">img137 . imageshack . us Just to add my PSU or motherboard fan ( not 100% which it is) makes a clicking/cracking noise any time I load up a game that takes a decent amount of computer strength, again this is running games that I've played for a few years which worked fine before . Also for some reason the PSU or something makes a cracking/clicking noise anytime the colour green is on the screen, might not be the actual green but in a game where theres nothing else but green on the screen which is not taking a lot of power to run, it clicks/cracks . __________________________________________________ _______________ Issue 2 . Also just to add, I've had a lot of troubles in the past year with this computer . . . worked fine for the first 2 years, and for the past year or so the computer has constantly switched it self off and will not come back on without me turning the power supply off and on from the back . I've had the PSU and Motherboard replaced at one stage due to the PSU frying the MB, at least thats what my computer guy told me . BUT the day after he had brought the computer back to me . . . the clicking/cracking started happening again and the PC switching it self off started all over again . The computer can be turned off for a week and be cold, then I turn it on . . . 2minutes later it will still do clicking/cracking sounds and switch off randomly, so I don't see how this can be a HEAT issue . What I don't understand is that when it does turn off, I have to go behind the Tower and switch the power off from the PSU , then switch it back on . . . for the computer to turn back on again, if I don't do that process . . . the sound of the fan from the motherboard is 10x louder and it will not turn on properly . Part's I've checked so far for problems changed PSU - problem doesnt go away changed motherboard - problem doesnt go away changed monitor - problem doesnt go away changed harddrive- problem doesnt go away switched out RAM - problem doesnt go away taken out any unnecessary hardware in PC - problem doesnt go away changed power cords - problem doesnt go away Pretty much the only thing I haven't tested is a new video card, but the sound is not coming from the video card so I don't see how this could be the issue, unless my video card has had it . . . but then why does this happen randomly? for example I wont have any issues for 2 weeks to 2 months, then suddenly for a week straight It switches off randomly every hour or so . Could there be a problem with the electricity and not the actual computer? This new house I've been in I've had to replace a few lights/fans etc . |

| 653725 | 2008-03-28 18:36:00 | It looks like a overheating problem. Is your CPU fan making the noise? Can you pull out your video board? You can do that if you have built in video. The only thing that will make noises is your FANS or something is loose and flopping around. darroll |

Clear / untick automatically restart. This will hopefully bring up a blue screen with the crash info on it (next time it crashes). Tell us WHAT it says after STOP and tell us if it shows the name of a file or driver underneath this. This will at least tell us what the cause of the prob is What version of windows is it? If this has XP on it, you could also try going to control panel / admin tools / event viewer. Look under system and application (might be system) for any X's Double click on the entry then click on the 2 pieces of papers (under the down arrow). Copy and paste this into notepad or in here. Is this your house, or a flat?? If its a flat get the landlord t get a sparky in and check it. Actually it sounds similar to this flat lol. A few yrs ago, a power point killed my system's CPU - P4 2.4 CPU (lucky Intel replaced it free of charge, or the landlord would have paid for the replacement). The earth on it was shot. So, we got an electrician in to fix it (which the landlord paid for). Since its not our house. My old system had similar probs (it was by chance, one day, I brushed my arm along the side of this PC case, it was live, (it was like a tingle, which isnt normal obviously). And everything in the case was live. If I unplugged the monitor (while the system was off, the end of the monitor cable was also live). This is how I knew something was wrong, and this is why my system started to crash constantly (but not as soon as I turned it on). But say every 1/2 hr to an hr |
