Hi,
I recently created a thread here, explaining how I got frequent computer crashes after being in graphic mode for 10 minutes with my ATI 4850. I was advised to switch out my power supply (I went from 250 watt to 450 watt) and stuff started working again. I was also told "Some people will say that it does not have enough amps, but it will run fine) Now, I've ran into some new problems:
1) I've played WoW for 8 hours straight. After about 7 hours of play, I started to see graphical artifacts, one hour later I got the same crash (monitor turns black, speakers go all FLAKFLAKFLAKFLAK and I have to hold the power button where it previously took me 10 minutes before crashing).
2) After playing Oblivion on Ultra High for 1 minute, I got the same crash.
Is this still a power supply issue or is it overheating? Is it possible to fix this without having to buy new hardware (I'm open for any solution)?
Thanks LOADS in advance.
