Quaxo it's not a rumor just because it never happened to your computer doesn't mean it can't happen, I didn't say it happened all the time just that vista is known to do that which it is.
I didn't say Vista didn't do that and I'm not saying it hasn't happened to anyone. I'm saying that it's rumor that Vista does it any more than any other OS. Perhaps you should take the time to reread that post.
really? my attitude, man check out pretty much any post here I'm sure you'll find that I have less of an attitude than most here...
Sorry, I'm still looking. Couldn't find those posts you were talking about.
any psu made within the last at least 12 years have fail-safes in place so that it doesn't partially fail it's either all or nothing.
I'll let you know when I stop laughing at this.
you guys should accept the fact you know little about these things, move on and maybe you will be able to learn something. I have never read so many non sensical and incorrect answers on any forum so I really have no respect for this place moreso since I notice most threads turn into arguments like this when someone disagrees about the psu which aparently is usually the cause for things.
I wouldn't call it arguing. Different people will have different opinions about a solution, and there's nothing wrong with expressing why you might think the person is wrong. But just because their opinion differs from yours doesn't mean you need to have a conniption fit.
If you have no respect for this place and don't like it so much, is there a reason you keep coming back? Need help finding the door or just have nothing better to do than drag this way off-topic with your blathering.
Gamer11705, sorry your thread has been hijacked. Getting back on track now, BC's course of action seems the most prudent at this point. If you can try a different power supply and see if you get the same result, we can at least confirm or eliminate that as a possibility.
