Hey everyone,
I recently installed a new hard drive, blu-ray player, and a brand new power supply for my computer. There were some issues with the graphics card and CPU temperatures at first: the fans would get really loud, temps (according to SpeedFan) would get up to 50 degrees Cel, and then crash. Sometimes, it would crash in the middle of games, but these are games that the processor and graphics card should have no problem handling.
At another point, I would turn on the computer, 20 minutes later it would shut off and would not start up again. I would then have to reach around the back, flick the power supply's switch on and off and then it would work.
My brother and I cleaned out the dust from the inside, he re-routed some of the wires to increase airflow and it seemed to work.
Recently, the computer crashes without warning and without any load intensive applications. And when I load it back up, the computer acts normal.
Sometimes, the fans get loud and the temps climb. And just now, I turned off my comp, walked away, and a couple of minutes later I'd try to turn it on and it would refuse to power up. When I pressed the button for a third time it would start up...only to turn off a few seconds later. I tried pressing the button a few more times, and THEN it turned on.
I don't know what's causing this. Is it a cooling problem? I have three standard sleeve fans on the inside. Could it be a problem with the power supply? Faulty maybe?
Here are my specs. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
