Hi Tom's community.
I'm having a PC problem here, I think is related to my power supply. It all started with a sudden restart for no reason and no error text at all. I waited until the OS was loading and just after that a BSoD pops out (I don't have the screen), so I just turned my machine off.
I immediately turned on the PC but the "beep" sound that makes the BIOS turning on was missing and there was nothing on screen.
I decided to clean and manually cooling the computer and it was alive again. But it just took a couple of hours to die again with a lovely BSoD. I wasn't unable to copy or take a photo of the screen but I saw a quick "Hardware malfunction" followed by a standar BSoD and I barely saw this: "dxgkrnl.sys".
I turned off the computer for a long time. In normal conditions the computer is cold when turned off for a while, but this time is different, I feel warm every time I touch where the power supply is, and that is not normal. I need to desconnect the machine from the power source to make the power supply cold again.
I'm scared.
My specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate - Service Pack 1
3GB RAM DDR2
Motherboard: Gigabyte M61SME-S2
Video Card: nVidia 9600GT
Power Supply: 500W
The fan in the back of the PC does not work, so there is one side always open with a big fan on one side of it. I'm always cleaning my machine every month. This situation has been playing a part of my life for 3 years and all this problems are new.
I hope my english is making sense to you so far and thank you.
