I have just started to watch a dvd using Media Player Classic (came with K-Lite codec pack) and the computer just switched itself off about 15minutes into it which really worried me. This is the first time i've watched dvd on this computer as I tend to use my TV for dvds...
I popped a new 3d card in yesterday which I had bought from the forums - an ATi Radeon x1300 Pro which is passively cooled and I had no problems with that.
Then today I recieved a new monitor - a 24" Dell 2407 which runs at 1920x1200 resolution, could it be the new resolution which has stressed the 3d card and made it overheat possibly, or does it not sound like that would cause the computer to just turn itself off suddenly?
Comp specs are:
amd 4200+ X2 cooled by arctic cooler 64 freezer pro
2gb geil 3200DDR ram
dfi lanparty ut nf4 ultra-d motherboard
80 and 500gb samsung sata II hdds
antec p160 case with one 120mm case fan
jeantech 450 watt psu (http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?jea-450ap &P=1)
Could it be the power supply?
I really do not want this to happen again and im worried it will, if anyone could give their thoughts that would be great,
Cheers,
Goaty
