I'm just wondering...
I've been having issues with my desktop lately and been meaning to format it sooner than later (maybe a reality very soon) and the latest now is a sudden shutdown during gameplay. And just last week I was finding my BIOS magically resetting itself to the opposite of what I had before (AKA everything is the lowest value possible and/or it would look for graffics on PCI first vs PCIE).
So ya the only thing I have done to my pc was just last weekend when I put in my third hd, 1TB.
my psu is 700watts, powering:
E6600
4gb pc8500 ram ddr2
8800gtx
74 raptop
300gb maxtor
1000 gb seagate
5.1 creative sound blaster card, fatality edition with the front panel.
1 dvd reader/writer on SATA
1 dvd drive on IDE
9700 zalman
3 x 120 mm case fans
1 x 220 mm (or w/e the massive one is on the antec 900) case fan
and of course laser mouse and illuminated keyboard.
I'm personally thinking maybe I'm low on amps since its only like 18 on the gamexstream 700watt psu??
I just unplugged my TB hd to test if the problem persists during gameplay, will notify once i am done testing that.
If not what you guys think my issue maybe then?
