hey all, recently built a pc for my partner and having some wierd problems, this is the list of items i bought.
GIGABYTE ga-k8nmf-9
amd athlon64 3000+ *venice core*
2x 512mb dual channel pc3200 ddr ram
ati 256mb x800gto16 pcie gfx
stock amd cooler
the motherboard itself
2x generic hdd
cdrw drive
generic gaming atx case with 350watt psu
now after it was built, everything seemed fine, i benchmarked it to death, ran 3dmark, ati tech demos, etc and ran amazing!
the day after apparently after about 2 hours of use it began to bsod, restarting fixed this but it then became more and more frequent, untill it was every 5 mins or so,
guessing this is just generic instability but not sure whats the cause, tried different ram and thats not it,
**THE ONLY THING IVE NOTICED IS THAT THE ATX POWER SUPPLY I HAVE IS 20 PINS AND THE MOBO IS A 24PIN POWER SUPPLY, I HAVE THE EXTRA 12V CABLE PLUGGED IN BUT WITH THE POWER SUPPLY PLUGGED IN THERE IS 4 LIL HOLES LEFT OVER ON THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY SOCKET. I WAS TOLD BY A COUPLE OF PEOPLE THAT THIS SHOULDNT BE A PROBLEM BUT NOT SURE**
ANY ONE HAVE ANY IDEAS?
