I ain't afraid of nothin'
Hi all,
I have got a strange problem here... just today night
My PC Config is
Intel Core2Duo E2800 3Ghz
Asus P5N E SLI
Zotac geforece 512MB 8400GS
2GB RAM 633
2HDDS(1IDE 250GB + 1SATA 160)
2Optis(1DVDRWASUS + 1CDRWSONY)
and my cabinet is Mron Potter with a built in power supply of max 550W
I have a 22 in ViewSonic LCD monitor VA2226W..
I think my configuration is bit lower kind but even then its alrite for me!
Now my problem (which just started today)
I have the full version of Unreal Tournament3 which requires DirectX10 and advance physics (6.5GB) and I am used to play it daily almost for 1 or 1/2 hr for refreshment.
Today suddenly when I was playing .. there were sparks in the back of the power supply(SMPS) .. As I could see the orange light on the wall behind the fan of SMPS while playing the game.. I was startled for a moment and quickly just turned off the computer fearing the damage of internal sensitive components!
Then my IDE 250GB started making strange sound like it is seeking something and not able to do it and so again seeking ...like making a sound ticktick again and agina... my computer didn't detect it...
So i removed it and allowed it to cool and again connected it back.. then it worked fyn....
I thot it all to be a junk issue.... but when after 2hrs(Now) i again started the game...as soon as the game screen comes... the SMPS started making some gzzz noise..... I was quite loud and it feared me playing the game ...
Surprisingly the noise just disappeared when I alt-tab to the other screen fromt he game and viceversa...
Now what am I supposed to do....
1) Is my computer in danger...
2) Is my config very bad that it cant support gaming? Should I change processor RAM motherboard.....
I know that Graphics is good enough for this game!! cuz i played it quite long till now without any probs...
3) Is there is problem with SMPS.. that it is not able to handle the load when graphic card open its wings as the game starts( I think the graphics card is not at its peak consumption when we are not on a game or graphics rich soft suites like maya!!)
I know that thinkdigit guys are gr8 at solving such problems and so choose this site to post....! Please help me out.. Otherwise its gonna end up damaging my whole computer....Alteast one of u might have faced similar problem.. plzz help
