I opened RAM once and after placed it in the slot again. After that the system went very slow and will not start every time. Even the Graphic Card got very headed up. The Ram was placed in slot properly, as the system at times rebooted properly. One of my friend told may be SMPS is not working properly. And when the system was made to run with another machine's SMPS(Cooler Master Real Power pro 650W) it started properly. It was thought SMPS may have a problem. And in the process of detecting any other error, the processor(AMD Phenom I) got burnt. So next day i took my machine to Computer Shop, where new processor(AMD Phenom II)was placed and then the machine ran fine. I was told the problem was due to dust, and the SMPS was fine. And it was cleaned by the mechanic. I was told to format the system once. Next one day the system ran fine, but again the same problem started. The monitor shut down , suddenly, even while making changes in settings of the bios. I want to find out where the problem may be? Can it be due to overheating of the Graphic Card?
Hi overheating is a common cause of this have you ensure the heatsinks and fans on both graphics card and processor are free from dust?? failing this download "CPU-Z" that will allow you to monitor what the temperature its running at and post back the results. Also try reseating the RAM and the graphics card making sure the connection is also dust free. Hope this helps Dave
