PC is dead...almost · DIGIT-ARC

Hi,

Bought a new PC 6750C2D, Intel G33 motherboard 10 days back. Today while playing Cricket 2004, it just crashed. Then it came on 3 times by itself and crashed each time immediately. Now it doesn't come on. Once I changed the Power supply from UPS to direct, it came on for 3 sec and then switched off again. Can anyone tell me the problem?

Thanks

Currently I have a Zeb micro 400. Is it better to replace with a higher one like Powersafe 500? In kolkata where can I buy Antec or Coolermaster? Has anyone ordered stuff from theitwares.com eshop? Is it reliable?

how much RAM do u have??It mite be a cooling problem...same thing was happening to me on core 2 quad q6600 with the stock heatsink...turns out the heatsink wasnt seated properly...chek ur heatsink...download coretemp to monitor ur temp...post the idle temp here...

2GB -> 2*1GB 800 MHz Zion RAM in slot 0 each of dual channels. Coolermaster not available. Located Corsair and Tagan.
BTW I have Zebronics Elegance case with only two side cooling fans. What is your suggestion? AF thermal paste or just a 120mm Antec cabinet fan at the back? Will post the temp only if the PC comes alive. Till then cant!!!

Thanks. Will be testing Corsair 450W tomorrow. One more thing. Can my 500VA UPS take the 450W SMPS with 19" tft monitor?

^^off topic - funny but my reason for editing is not what is shown by the automated Board msg below!

^^Monitors draw power form a different power cable. SMPS doesnt matter.

Nvidia, you may have missed it. I mentioned 500VA *UPS*

^^Hey im sorry about that*gigasmilies.googlepages.com/actions1.gif
I think it will handle it as tft monitors consume very little power compared to CRTs.. But im not very sure if it can handle it.

I did not get your last sentence. Can you specify what you mean by it will handle it but not support it?
