Phantom computer problem

Sounds like PSU. What's yours?

Man, I didn't catch the RAM! [oops]

DIE NEWBIE DIE!!! MAY YOUR VIDEO CARD BE CURSED WITH THE ANGST OF 10,000 REBOOTS!!!!

It's all Bush's fault...all of it...

Heh, I don't think that's what he was talking about.

That's just the standard Grub greeting, too, btw.

These morons!! I don't know why half of them get out of bed in the morning they have the intelligence of Goldfish in brackish water. The other half would like to think they actually know something about computers when in fact if some one actually sat down with them and showed them how one really works they would unfortunately nod off and go to sleep because they were born without a brain, and would likely forget what they were shown 45 minutes later or when the beer wears off.

The Blue screens you are talking about are caused by many problems. the first one apparent is the nice advanced graphics card you own. It is too advanced for your current RAM/Memory chips you would have better luck with a motherboard that supports 333MHz memory in the BIOS and a CPU that does the same to match your good quality graphics card.
Their is very little difference between what Nvidia and ATI offer the public now for graphics performance.
In the real world different games work differently in different computers. In fact I know from many years playing games that the guys that get to elite status in a online game were just lucky enough that the computer they are playing the game on likes the software title as much as they do. I have seen IBM computers spit out game titles on the floor and simply refuse to run them.

The other thing you talked about was a heat problem and that is always the case with computers. If you have a side panel you can remove try that and see if the computer cools enough that it does not blue screen any more. Some computer users like to add cooling fans to their computers but if it is not done correctly what they end up with is a HEAT-DAM inside the computer case. A heat dam is where stale air, heated air gets trapped in the case and is not released.

Removing the cover on a P.C for a few days to see if the overheating or even shut down or restarting problems goes away is the easiest way to figure out IF you had a heat problem. If the P.C is behind a door or in a cubby-hole remove it from the hole into an open area as well.
Another symptom of BLUE screens with graphics cards is if they have been forced into an overclock using overclock programs or even in the cards control panels. Later after the card has been used for long periods overclocked then set back to default factory settings they will have this problem.
I use a Nvidia Ti 4200 graphics card and it is overclocked in Windows XP pro I have used it this way for some time and at a 100 MHZ Monitor refresh rate.

Last week I installed a used hard drive reformatted it and installed Windows 98 because I had an old DOS game I wanted to play online and XP would not let me stay connected.
Well the entire install was perfect no problems until I installed the WIN 98 drivers for the graphics card right off the manufacturers CD then the computer would correctly restart but not go to the Win 98 desktop.
The card had been run so long at higher values and with Win XP drivers that it would not go back to a Win 98 driver set-up nor could win 98 handle my 8X's AGP buss on the motherboard.
A sign then that a card that is blue screening is generally a sign that it was once overclocked and sold second hand friend to friend or that the computer system motherboard and CPU cannot keep up with the new graphics card in some instances in different games.

If you do not have a heat problem I recommend changing the motherboard and memory as well as the CPU....BUT you could try this if the ATI drivers options let you adjust the clock speed and memory speeds for the card. Try to up the Engine and memory speeds say 10 to 20 higher then it already is that might force the card back to a familiar overclock setting and settle things down a bit.

haha nice one i gotta remember that

heh your card is stil gonna perfomr like mine with that ram.

LOL the card is to advanced for my system... thats why my geforce2 did it also ehh. Sounds like faulty logic from a a retard who thinks he knows it all.

Like i said your a retard, but if i did follow your logic you would be wrong anyway, because I bought the card the day it came out, retail box, so it has never been overclocked.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by MajinChewY on 11/14/03 02:56 PM.</EM></FONT></P>

^ Everyone note this.

Is there really any further need to note his incompetance and ignorance? He's publically putting it on everything he posts, just ignore him as a m4d l33t 5cr1p7 k1dd13!!!1!

Lets see, when was the last time using highascii/leetspeak "cool" for anyone over 13? Bout 91-92? Maybe I'm being generous, it may have never been cool for anyone over 13.
