My new system is screwed, any suggestions?
I currently have the following components in my system:
Asus P5B - E
Kingston Hyperlinx DDR2 800 2 GB
XFX 8800 GTX
2 Seagate 7200.10 320 GBS running in RAID 0
Core2Duo E6700
Xfi extreme gamer
500 watt psu - came with li lian case.
-2 optical drives
-Running on usb ports: Dell 1907 fp hub, usb keyboard and mouse, usb wireless adaptor, printer, external hdd (with its own power adaptor).
Here are some of the problems I'm having:
-Crashes all the time either in Vista (running 32/ultimate), on bootup at bios stage, on restart.
-Sometimes crashes to a blank screen and a loud high pitched noise.
-HDDs seem to be busy when there is no recorded activity in task manager.
Been told by the system builder that 'on paper' the crashing is because my 500 watt psu is not adequate - he has suggested I get a 650 watt psu.
Thoughts?
