Graphics Problems...(PSU not powerful enough?)
NataKun replied to NataKun's topic in Troubleshooting
OK. It seems that the problem was the new stick if RAM I put in. Got errors within 5 seconds of running memtest. I put back the old 1GB stick in place of the 2GB stick and the system runs stable now. I'll have to reinstall Windows now cuz bad memory could have cause the corruption of the HDD during the install. That can explain the BSOD... -
Graphics Problems...(PSU not powerful enough?)
NataKun replied to NataKun's topic in Troubleshooting
Yeah. But it don't seems to have enough amps...and the PSU he has is cheap. And is the CX430 that bad?! -
So we installed my friend's old GPU in my other friend's old computer, the GTX 550ti. It all worked ok at first. He was able play his games just fine. Then I installed a 2GB stick of RAM (he had 1x2GB + 1x1GB) and I reinstalled Windows. Now the graphics are acting weird. Symptoms: -Nvidia Drivers crashing. -Weird stuff happening on screen ex. Random chunks appearing Blank chucks parts appearing until I put my mouse cursor over it Misbehaving/unresponsive Windows -BSOD -Etc...(there are so many small things...) -The system boots ok and loads the desktop ok. Just some glitches happen every once in a while (mentioned above). However, when I watch a video with VLC, the graphics start flickering every few secondes. And when I load a game it either crashes, or the computer does, leaving me with a blank screen. Also, I noticed that sometimes when I leave it on for a while on idle, I will get a BSOD. His system: Upgraded Acer Aspire am1640-ed2160a (upgrades below) -Core 2 Duo e8400 -2x2GB DDR2 800Mhz -GTX 550ti EVGA -Dynex DX-400WPS 400W PSU I am suspecting that it is his PSU that is not giving the GPU enough juice. I read that the 550ti needs 24A on the 12V rail, but this one only has 14A in the first 12V rail and 15A on the other. Also, the 550ti needs at least 400W, and this is some cheap PSU so it may not actually be 400W like it says it is. I want to make sure that this is the problem so I don't make him buy a new PSU for nothing. I am thinking about the Corsair CX430 if he really needs to change the PSU.

Overclocking a Core 2 Duo e8400
NataKun replied to NataKun's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
I don't know. I was searching, and apparently it is impossible to overclock with motherboard. Some have tried with various overclocking programs with the xw4600, but have failed. -

Overclocking a Core 2 Duo e8400
NataKun replied to NataKun's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
So...there is no way of overclocking it with the xw4600...? -
Hey! I have been thinking of overclocking my C2D e8400 to like 3.6-4GHz to get some more juice out of it. The thing is that I am a newb to overclocking and I wanted to know if there was anything I would need to know about it or of any restrictions. I have a xw4600 HP workstation with 4x1GB DDR2 667MHz RAM and a 475W PSU. I am planing to get a Hyper 212 evo for cooling the cpu and I have some arctic cooling MX-4 handy. Thanks!

Thanks. But I have finally decided to just get a 750ti. It uses less power and doesn't need any supplementary cables. I also won't need to take the risk or have to buy a new PSU and I can use it when I get enough money to make the computer build I wanted to make. I had just bought HP workstation for like 140$ and fixed a 8800Gt that I got for 4$ to use temporarily, and I must say that I am impressed with it's usability. I can even play games one it. Anyways, thanks again.
