They're very solid and afforadble. They also offer very good aperage on their 12V rails.<br /> <br /> <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-182-002&amp;depa=0" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-1...amp;depa=0</a><br /> <br /> I have one of these, and it's been great. text/html 2005-03-11T14:05:48-05:00 Ross McFarland http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/40830/#253367 What prices can I be expected to pay?<br /> <br /> I'm about to <a href="/action/r/http://www.ebay.com/">eBay</a> it just now - Either that or if someone knows of a next-day delivery site within the UK? text/html 2005-03-11T14:03:15-05:00 Supreet Virdi http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/40830/#253365 I wouldn't go with unbraded products, especially when it comes to PSU or RAM, if ur on tight budget then look for Qtec PSU.<br /> <br /> However Antec or Thermaltake would be awesome ! text/html 2005-03-11T14:00:08-05:00 Ross McFarland http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/40830/#253363 My PSU is 350W.<br /> <br /> The side has been off the case for months in attempts to solve this problem - I even added an extra fan to blow air to the card to keep it cool.<br /> <br /> I'll get my hands on a new PSU sometime [I hope].<br /> <br /> There's one for £30 for a 650W, though it's unbranded.<br /> <br /> Should I just got for a Thermaltake or Antec? text/html 2005-03-11T13:38:59-05:00 dodge dakota http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/40830/#253355 yeah, ive been saying that too. when i first built my rig, i had a 330w psu and that was causing my computer to restart. i got the Antec 430w TruPower PSU and havent had problems since. text/html 2005-03-11T10:35:10-05:00 Supreet Virdi http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/40830/#253323 Get yourself new Power Supply Kevin, preferbly Antec or Thermaltake, i see ur +5V rail is quite low. My suggestion would 430W by Antec.<br /> <br /> First of all get PSU, and then we shall see. text/html 2005-03-10T23:32:07-05:00 Timber Wolf http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/40830/#253166 Now it restarts when im not even doing anyting. one time it restarted 4 times in a row <img src="/images/smilies/smile2.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":(" title=":("> text/html 2005-03-10T04:41:55-05:00 L Satchmo http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/40830/#252883 There is an existing thread on the same topic. I've been having trouble with the same issue and very similar hardware.<br /> <br /> Read this (long) thread first. <a class="ext" href="/content/topic/15646/?o=0" target="_blank">http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/15646/?o=0</a><br /> <br /> It took me all day to read it, but I think it's very well worth the time.<br /> <br /> Good luck. text/html 2005-03-10T02:03:11-05:00 Timber Wolf http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/40830/#252841 <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=293078" target="_blank">http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=293078</a><br /> <br /> could that be the problem? text/html 2005-03-10T01:33:29-05:00 Greg M http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/40830/#252832 It could be your PSU, as your 5V. rails a quite low. But on first gander, I was thinking overheating videocard. Try either running with the side of your case off (maybe a box fan next to the PC if you can get one).<br /> <br /> Try the case + fan test, if it runs like that, then its a heat issue, and consider getting more case fans or a new video card cooler.<br /> <br /> If it still re-starts, Grab a new PSU. text/html 2005-03-10T01:15:24-05:00 Timber Wolf http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/40830/#252822 +12v = +12.22v<br /> +5v = +4.19v<br /> Core = 1.71v<br /> aux = +2.77v<br /> i/o = +3.34v text/html 2005-03-08T13:05:42-05:00 Chris McNally http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/40830/#252115 Sorry, I should have been clearer-I was referring to the fan on the PSU itself, i.e. I'm thinking that maybe the PSU is overheating. text/html 2005-03-08T13:00:51-05:00 Supreet Virdi http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/40830/#252112 I strongly believe its Power Supply, but Mc Nally is also right, it could be heating Issue too.<br /> <br /> Could you please tell us volts on each rail?<br /> <br /> for example: -<br /> <br /> +12V<br /> +3.3V<br /> +5V text/html 2005-03-08T12:49:40-05:00 dodge dakota http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/40830/#252108 what kind of psu's do you guys have?? text/html 2005-03-08T00:31:47-05:00 Ross McFarland http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/40830/#251947 +1 for this problem.<br /> <br /> I too get the same aggrivating crap.<br /> <br /> Specs listed below, machine can't even run some Flash games [DirectX issue?]<br /> <br /> I'm using ... well I'll be damned ... DirectX 8.1 - That's a surprise - lol.<br /> <br /> And version 6.14.10.6505 [English] of the Catalyst Drivers [Swiped from a PCGamer DVD].<br /> <br /> I had the same kind of problem before only it involved the ati2dvag.dll error - I no longer get this since my cousin traded cards with me [Pretty much the same card apart from length and power in-take cable].<br /> <br /> I'll do what I can to help solve this problem - I play pretty much the same games as Kevin. (It was Kevin wasn't it? Sorry for my ignorance.)
