Okay, having some problems with my system at home. I'm going to run
down a list of problems, things I've tried, and the results. I'm
stumped here, so I'd like whatever feedback is out there...

I've got a P4 2.4GHz processor with 512MB PC2700, GeForce 4 Ti4200,
Soundblaster Audigy2, 300w power supply, c:\ drive is a 60 GB Maxtor,
and d:\ drive is a 120GB Western Digital.

You need a different, larger power supply...unless the one that you
have is approved by Intel.

The other problems are probably just minor...and caused by the drives
suddenly quitting.


Have a nice week...

Follow Joan Rivers' example --- get pre-embalmed!

It makes all sense that the power supply, being a 300, wouldn't push all the
junk in my rig. The thing that's confusing me is why would it suddenly be
inefficient now? This power supply has been running in this system for
nearly a year without a problem.

That works out to be a pretty easy thing to test, though. I do have a spare
power supply, 400w, that I can put in. It's just as noisy as all get out,
that's why I took it out in the first place.

I'll give it a shot and will report back anything that I find.
