i bought this machine on the advise of a friend though eaby and ive been having some problems that i was hoping you guys might know something about the specs are as fallows Intel CPU : Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 2.66GHz, 1333FSB (Quad Core) 12000K Intel CPU Fans : Spire Socket 775 Intel fan Intel Motherboards : ASUS P5K SE P35, 1333FSB, PCI Express, DDR2, Sound, 1Gb LAN DDR2 memory : 3GB (3x1GB) PC6400 DDR2 800 Dual Channel PCI-Express Video cards : GeForce 9600GT 512Mb PCI EXpress 16X dual head, tv out Hard Drives : 500.0GB Maxtor/ Seagate 7200rpm SATA2 UDMA 300 32m Cache Sound Cards : AC 97 3D Full Duplex sound card (onboard) Network Cards : Ethernet network adapter (onboard) Cases : APEVIA X-Plorer Silver, Side Window, front USB,iEEE,Temp control Case Fans : Dual Case Fans 80 mm DC fan (two fans) Power Supply : Okia Extra Quiet 650W ATX Power Supply, SLI Ready ( im also running a CRT monitor not a LCD with the adapter that came with the card) the problems im having is that on a couple games ( the penny arcade game and Penumbra: Black Plague) that it runs ok for a bit, but then it oddly freezes. it doesn't entirely freeze ( it lets me ctrl alt delete out) but enough that it wont work for a wile. after about a minute passes, it progresses abit again, but then freezes. also i get weird misplaced textures on world of warcraft. the weird thing is that i tried crysis on it, and it runs like a champ no problems what so ever. any thoughts or advise any of you might have would be great thanks in advance!
it sounds like a driver issue tbh m8 newwer drivers tend to be optimised for the new gpu and newest big games. other than that you could stop playing ghey games
lol to each his own. well i think i got it. i took out a stick of ram ( they gave me 1x of 2gb and 1x of 1gb wich i thought was a pc nono but i wasn't sure) anyway, yeah looks like every things working fine now, i just have one useless stick of ram :-/
Yes, that's a very poor design choice. Also, VERY IMPORTANT You MUST change the power supply unit in that PC urgently. A lot of PCs off ebay come with Okia units - most go pop and take the rest of your components with them, and some even catch fire. Get a proper unit in there like a Corsair, sharpish.
o_____o damn that sucks. is there perhaps one you would recommend on new egg or some place like that?
