  1. ok, so i went to his house right, changed everything back to the way it was and took out unneccesary things that hogged up power such as the pci fan card, it worked fine for 2 or so hours, and then BAM the computer froze for a second and then the screen went black.. but the computer was still runnin'. The fans started goin slower then faster then slower then faster and then the whole comp shut off. It wouldnt turn back on, so I went to feel the psu and it was freakin hot. Basically, the fan on the psu is broken and it overheats every so often, so now he is getting a new new psu.... and hopefully nothing else needs replacing.
  2. That could be it. He really needs a new computer, But now is a really bad time for it to crap out, right before school with no money saved up... and yeah.. fsck!
  3. im pretty sure that aint it, but who knows. It's just that his computer keeps crashing every 15 minutes now. I'm thinking its maybe a mixture of two things. I think maybe his processor is overheating (since i just found out he took off his side fan (I KNOW WTF)) and/or maybe it could be the psu which he will be changing soon anyways. I really dont know from home, but I'm going to go see tomorrow morning.
  4. Ok, so i had a lan the other day and my friend brought over his pc. During a CS:S tourny suddenly his comp restarted. It restarted to a screen that said to insert boot media or something close to that. Then a friend came over and switched the boot order in the bios around and somehow it worked. Later the next day the same thing happened. He changed the boot order around in the BIOS and it still keeps happening. If anyone has had an experience like this or can guess a possible way to fix it.. that would be appreciated. EDIT: sometimes his comp just freezes when he is just doing minimal things such as just now he was on msn and listening to music and it froze on him and forced to restart and he recieved the boot media error AGAIN.
  5. I have pretty much decided to go with the OCZ Modstream 520w seeing as it is a good psu and i heard good things about it and it is offordable. HERE any last comments before i buy?
  6. I was re arranging my wires and going to change the lighting around, and the end cap of one of my red ccfls came off. I put it back on, but I'm not sure if its gonna work. For now, the red ccfls arent being used but I was wondering if they will work/will it blow up. lol
  7. i did the same thing when i got my 6600, i felt stupid
  8. wow.... is that when you are in a fullscreen game when u see that or on the deskop?
  9. so by installing the .exe, my comp becomes a scientist and saves lives??... someone explain it clearly what the computer is doing. I looked on other sites.. and i believe that i am slow at learning.
  10. Where did you buy the ram? 90 bucks is a really good deal
  11. i like the http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku...re=COOLERMASTER and http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku...CZ%20Technology but i would much rather get a 500w one. but 150 dollars is just too much.
  12. ive never heard of that site. uhm I'd like to order it from Tigerdirect or ExtremePc (www.extreme-pc.ca) but that site seems good if I find something good. EDIT: yes danyo knows what i want lol
