can someone please tell me why the f*** my computer is being a little b****.

to elaborate on that it constantly resets during games and during anything i do.

i have a intel pentium 4 processor 2.80 Ghz(400pin)

radeon 9600xt graphics card

1Gb Ram

ASUS P4P800S - X motherboard

if i missed anything of improtance can someone please tell me

it also crashes alot not just resets

i have a feeling its the motherboard and processor

because my friend has the same stuff except a different processor and motherboard

he has a AMD 3000+ Processor and a gigabyte K8 triton motherboard

anyway thanks a lot whoever fixes me up L:

download SpeedFan
run the program and take screenshot
upload screenshot so we can see it
maybe the problem is with psu (in 90% the problem of restarting is bad psu)

Yes Gen and also bad memory ... We had a stick on a machine at the studio that would hard lock the machine after about an hour during any games. We thought the chipset was going thermal ... nope one bad memory stick.

puddy207 if you have extra ram there try swapping it out before looking at the mobo and run what Gen said too .. BTW welcome to NGOHQ

i was listening to music during that so thats why the cpu usage is so high

gen.Rage1991hrv · June 24th, 2006, 07:36 PM
