Hi all, I got a new custom built system about a month ago and since then its been crashing now and then when I use youtube, and only youtube. I haven't really pushed my pc's power since it's new so I'm afraid there might be more problems later. I'm using Windows Xp and the specs are:
- Kingston 4GB PC10600 DDR3 1333
- AMD ATHLON II A6-3500 Triple Core APU 2.1GHz Processor
- Gigabyte A75M-S2V Motherboard
- Trend Sonic TSCS130-BB 450W ATX Casing
- Western Digital 500GB 7200RPM 16MB 3.5inch SATA6.0 Caviar Blue HDD
- Logiech MK100 Classic Desktop
- Samsung 22x SH222 SATA DVDRW Drive
Another forum told me that I get a new PSU but I want to understand what's the problem and if it's really necessary since it's only youtube that's effected by it. Also, someone on here posted http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine, I want to use this calculator but I know where to find the specs that it's asking like CPU sockets, PCI cards, fans, etc. Can anyone tell me where to get this information or is there a guide to find this info on my comp? Mainly, I want to avoid bring the CPU back to the retailer, so if I can get some information on the problem and how to approach it, that'd be great. Thanks.
P.S. I also got a new game, that crashes often stating a "crash dump error" but I've read of many people having this problem, so I'm not sure if it's related to my current issue or it's just the game issue.
