Hi all,
wonder if you can confirm my suspicion.
My current setup is:
Abit AG8 3rd EYe Mobo
P4 3.2 Ghz Prescott
Nvid 6800GT 256 meg
2 gb DDR Memory
150 Gig Sata drive
Akasa AK-920 EVO 120 CPU Cooler
350W PSU
Recently on startup my mobo make a low beep and resets itself and then proceeeds to boot normally.
Over the past few days, I have been experiecing crashes, where the pc literrally turns itself off and reboots.
I think since putting in the cpu cooler, and adding an extra GB or ram, it's been putting a lot of stress on the PSU, it has been getting quite hot, so I think it fails.
So i have gone ordered a 500W PSU in the hope that it;s the PSU and not hardware related.
Do you think I've done the right thing? or have i just wasted money....
thanks
