Really need some specs on what you built to help you sort it out. Flying blind from your OP I would say try taking the CPU out and re-seat it, since you got some sort of error message about it, might be loose or maybe overheating, check the fan plug to make sure its plugged in...

malphasOh, sorry for being an asshole, read your post as sarcasm then realised it wasn't. This thread has me on edge for some reason. Apologies. No harm, no foul. Would have used //sarcasm brackets btw if i had meant it to be that.....have a nice day ;)

malphasNo, it's not. I'm dedicated to the PC platform for gaming and don't own any consoles, but the sad truth is consoles dominate the gaming ecosystem at the moment and the vast majority of PC users neither use them for gaming, nor are their systems capable of running most modern games. I...

nadavp3the only thing chrome os is missing is games, if steam was intergrated to chrome os as an optional "tab" and you could download and install them on your device (as long as you have free space in your hard drive) I would totaly go chrome os right now, hell, right yesterday.with google...

StevusBrin is talking out of both sides of his mouth. He thinks that Windows is "a flawed model fundamentally" but also says, "I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with Windows". Which is it? Both sides of his mouth?? More like talking out his ass, Its very simple really, if you...

lamorpaSummary of comments: I'm an experienced computer scientist geek and since I can handle my computer everyone should.Get real. Most users have no idea how to maintain their Win/PC and have to (try to) rely on (shudder) Geek Squad or buying a new one every 2 years. (I'm still trying to fully...

Well I for one thought that your geek bitch slapping session was completely un-called for, and Im not surprised you scared the poor guy off....he just needed a 'net mule for his GF and you all turned it into this?? BTW I wouldnt buy from Tiger D if they gave it away, bunch of hacks there... TTFN!

One word of caution i want to toss into this whole case fans debate here...... make sure you are pulling more CFMs out the back of the case than what you are pulling in the front, if you get turbulence in the case especially around the cpu your temps will hit the roof!! (this is a voice of...

While I agree with most of what mosox said, I cant see why you would want to lug that big fat case around, newegg has a nice Rosewill case w/300W PSU for a decent price http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147098 Its basically an HTPC case, but it will drive that entire...

To much for the vid card to handle, maybe overheating it?? Are you running Overdrive on it? Maybe try to manually adjust the gpu fan speed up to 100%! If the temps are around 50c or less under load and its still crashing then I will agree with addison that the card is bad. Otherwise its a heat...

@Silvune....sorry, didnt think to convert the currency! ;) Yes a higher end Antec would do the trick. Thats what I was getting at, was dont ever skimp on a PSU!

Ok, hold up...we appear to have different ideas of what constitutes hot. If your case temp is 30c (or is that your MB temp thats 30c?) then you're not real bad there, what is the ambient temp in your room like? Generally the inside case temp can be 5-10c hotter than your room temp without alot...

You dont mention what brand case this is in, but it seems obvious you dont have enough fans INSIDE the case. You do need to fix that as heat is the main killer of anything electronic in nature. In my system the air inside the case NEVER even gets warm, much less getting HOT! Now as to the PSU...
