Ok, well, its my lucky christmas day today. i was playing on my 360, i turned my computer on to see if i could connect to the internet as its been down for about a week now, well the wireless connectivity on it, anyway, i when to play on my 360 again and didn't turn off my computerafter an anoying sestion of skate, i dissded to chill out and play some CoD, so i turn to my computer and my moniters was in sleep mode, like it should of been, but i realised that my G11 keyboard light where off, and so was my G5 mouse. so i was like, whats going on? checked to see if i wasn't just hearing things and seen if my computer was on, and it was. I pressed the power button to turn it off, then turned it back on, it wasde bleeping noises, in this kind of way .............. Nurrrrr Nurrrrr Nurrrr ........... Nurrrr Nurrrr Nurrrrrr. turned it off and let it cool for about 5 mins, tunred it back on and seemed to work ok, whent to play on CoD then about 10 mins later, it "shut off" again, and did the same thing, kept making the noises, now it whont even boot up, and the fan keeps going mental. Anyone help a merry man out here? don't want to spend the money from xmas to buy new parts, rarther than 5 games from my 360 :/
Same thing i said to my dad, but he said its probly the harddrive ( hes ok with computers, he just thas this thing with harddrives.....) also, yeah i got a pretty cheap 600w powersupply, and people said that its best to buy a PSU that costs a bit, but i just couldn't afford anything else also there are my specs: PSU: 600w Artic cool ... thing..... MB: dell dimention 8400 standard, i think, not realy sure what one i have.... GFX card: 8500GT 512mb RAM: 1gb ( 4x 256mb) HDD: 156gb (not sure of the make)
yeah i have my old psu somewhere, but, thats only a 320w, and my gfx card recuires 400+ so, i don't realy want to try my luck. well, ill see if it starts up now, its had a wile to cool, ohh and merry christmas btw :)
ok its just started up, but when i ususaly start my computer, the CPU fan goes nuuuuuuuUUUUUUUMMMMmmmmmmm........( caps means it goes louder but now its like nuuuu UUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMmmmmmm ( the time when its louder is longer, like a car reving up and then staying at like 6k rmp for a second then going back down to 2k.
well it doesn't use 400w, it just says its best if you have a 400w+ PSU. i have my old ATi card still somewhere, so i might use that too. ill see if i can get my dad d to go find my old stuff, its probly in the loft. happy boxing day btw

Yeah, it's best because you'll be running other things and it gives you overhead in case you install anything else. I'd give it a shot and see if it works. Or try that psu on another computer if you have one laying around.
yeah, we have got 3 computers imn my house, my dads one ( the one im using now) my sisters, and mine, my dad will probly use my sisters to test stuff out
