Guest Jakalwarrior Posted May 17, 2007 Only happens when im playing WoW. My temps are fine and sometimes I get to play for 10 minutes, sometimes a few hours. Then WHAM it powers down like I unplugged it. Any ideas? Tried downlocking, tried upping voltages, etc... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thejamesvolta Posted May 17, 2007 If you're having power issues in gaming, I would check your PSU & Video card first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
killagorilla187 Posted May 17, 2007 So, it doesn't happen with other games? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jakalwarrior Posted May 17, 2007 I don't play anything else except D2 lol. It wasnt doing this in my old ASrock board though. I might just go back to it. Â Its 24 hours prime and memtest stable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krazypoloc Posted May 17, 2007 Check and see if your PSU fan is actually running. That happened to me a while back and I couldn't figure it out for the life of me, turned out my 120mm PSU fan died and wasn't pushing any air. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branjo Posted May 18, 2007 do you have your CPU temp shutdown activated in your BIOS maybe its set too low. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jakalwarrior Posted May 18, 2007 PSU fan is running (why I had to replace my last one too, after it went out it burned up). Bios shutdown temp is set as high as possible (no off setting) and the cpu never goes over 50-55. Im wondering if maybe the temp sensor is messed up and sometimes jumps up real high and makes it shut down. Cant disable the auto shutdown though :/ Â I also tried unplugging the on switch. No help there either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SPQQKY Posted May 18, 2007 Did you do a reinstall of the OS after you switched from the Asrock to the DFI? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poohsito Posted May 18, 2007 i read DFI's are picky w/ psus, u have a 24pin psu? im also going from my asrock DS2 to a dfi ultra D this weekend, so im curious as to ur outcome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jakalwarrior Posted May 18, 2007 No didnt reinstall, I cleared out all the drivers and repaired. Psu im not sure. I just woke up and cant remember how many pins a regular one has but its one of the new ones with a lot of connections on the thing and some of them break off for old mobos.

Guest Jakalwarrior Posted May 19, 2007 *edit* I take that back. It does the same thing at all stock settings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
