Hello,
I bought a graphics card (Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT) and upgraded 2 GB of ram, I was unaware that I needed to upgrade the power supply so my pc started shutting down on me. I bought a 350 watt power supply which can handle the graphics card, but my pc still shuts down, but it takes about 30 min for the pc to shut down. In game, the processor temp is 40 degrees Celsius and the load is at a solid 100%, when I run it with onboard graphics, the load is around 98-100%, and the pc wont shut down. So I'm starting to think I need a new processor, any suggestions on how I can fix this without spending any money.
I downloaded new drivers, and the computer has not shut down on me yet, but the processor is running at around 47-50 degrees Celsius now.
The graphics card runs fine, barley using it, and is at 50 degrees Celsius.
PC= Acer Aspire T180
Ram= 3 GB
Processor= AMD Athlon 64 Bit, 3800+, 2.41 GHz
