ok, since i first build this computer i am using now it has bieng shutting down lots and lots when i have bieng playing games, now at first i had a 2.8ghz celeron d and a nvidia ge force fx 5200 256mb pci video card, 512mb ram and a 300w poer supply, now i have a pentium 4 3.0ghz (prescott), ati radoen 9600 256mb agp 8x, 500w power supply and 1gb ram, and i still experience shutting down, even when i have dual channel enabled, now when i just used ot play ut2k4 it used to shut down like every 2 hours most of the time, then i was not that botherd about it shutting down, but then i bought bf1942, and then i noticed that nearly every level i went on, as it was loading, the computer shut down, and then when i turned it back on, it came on, but no monitor came on, i had to turn the computer on and off sometimes between 8-20 times for the monitor to come on, but now i have added the new stuff like the pentium 4 3.0ghz processor, shutting down seems the have changed, it’s alot more common on games, and when the computer shutd down, i have to turn it on and off about 8-20 times, but this time, the monitor dont have chance to come on becouse this time the computer only turns on for about 1 second and the turns off again.
at one time, i must of bieng messing about in bios, changing the settings, then for 2 weeks the computer hardly shut down, i could play bf1942 all the time but it did still shut down quite alot, eg 5 times a week, 1 time a day.
when i say the computer shutd down, i mean, the power just goes off straight away, there is no blue screen’s of death of shutdown processes, its just an instand shut down, i have bieng baffled by this problem for at least since i build the computer at first, wich was during christmas.
also today, i was on windows, and then the screen just went blank and the computer restarted, the only other time it did this is when i unplugged the dvd/rw and then put the power in when the computer was still turned on, could this be due to power.
i have 1 cathode tube and 2 led fans connected into 1 molex connector, as the fans and led cathode tube came with extra connectors, and at the other side, i have one EL light cable, 1 led fan, and 1 bubble tube light connected together into one molex connector plug, and all the lights are connected onto the same power line going into the cpu, wich has 4 molex connector on, 1 or 2 or wich are free.
