Ok guys iv been having problems since the start BSOD after BSOD and random shutdown after random shut down so i installed xp and got a HD 5770 and it all worked for a while now i keep getting BSODs and more random shut downs , could it be my chipset and worse i cant even move the mouse with out a beeping noise from the MOBO speaker i have tried every thing in and out the case reseting CMOS and taking out theMOBO battery 1channle ram 1 channle ram and nothing itll stay on for 5 minutes but i open a game or watch a video it just shuts down, i bought brand new ddr2 2 gb x2 ram and a psu, its a AMD athlon 64 x2 6000+ brisbane with a neettle 2 MOBO. if it is my MOBO what MOBO do you recommend im looking at AM2+ so later i can upgrade to a Phenom x4 so what do ya think.

Could be your power supply. Please list the brand, model, and 12v rail.

idk what you mean by the 12v rail

12v rail in amps should be somewhere on the ps label. I suspect your ps is weak and the source of your problems, but I may be wrong.

This PSU can be bought for $1 per 30w which is about the least you can pay for any PSU.

The +12v has only 15a while the 3.3v has 25a and the 5v has a whopping 36a.

This PSU wasn't designed to power computers from 2011, more like computers from 1995. This is why you can get it for pennies on the dollar. A PSU designed for 2011 costs $1 per 10w.

There is no way we can rule out the PSU being the sole cause of your problems.

I would suggest you get an Antec EarthWatts 430w.

That may outright fix the problems completely, but if it doesn't it will at least allow us to try other things with confidence that they will actually test what we want them to test.

If the PSU remains as is and we suggest tests, then the results of those tests will be suspect and not really prove anything. Power problems are insidious and they can disguise themselves as problems with pretty much anything else.
