Just Built New Comp, Shuts Off After Few Seconds then Reboots

Hi Anandtech, Just built my first comp, essentially a clone of the mid-level rig sticky. I feel like I have everything together correctly, but cannot be certain. Computer boots, fan turns on, and then after about 3-5 seconds it shuts down. After a couple seconds, the computer turns on again...

First Build for Gamer

Hi Anandtech, Got a surprise holiday bonus, and after being a gamer for 20 years (I'm 25) and always buying pre-built/friend built/barebones + upgrade systems, I'm finally ready to blow some good earned cash on a gaming machine that makes me giggle. I've never played anything on the highest...

First time build up for review

Sorry - I know thread is closed, but why do people ask if he has a Microcenter nearby? I have one nearby and I will be getting a very similar build.

VGA -- but since I had to use the low profile the VGA isn't sticking out the back of my computer - ie cannot use the VGA to plug in.

Can I load a PCIe graphics card into this to play Skyrim?

Halp! So I bought it, and plugged in my monitor to my "old" VGA input and am blackscreened. I know this is totally a newb question, but after plugging in my new graphics card it necessitates plugging my monitor into the card itself and it's inputs/outputs, as opposed to the VGA on the...

Can I load a PCIe graphics card into this to play Skyrim?

My budget is: 1. Cards that work in a PCIe x1 or x16 slot 2. Cards that could possibly work with a 220W power supply 3. Cards that work with the case/setup mentioned in my first post. I assume that is already limiting us to just a few cards, but if you had some mega low-consumption...

Last question, which is probably an idea-killer... The power supply is showing 220W on newegg. This can't possibly support an external card, right?

I would revisit the notion that it "is" perhaps a temperature issue, and install PC Wizard and let us know how hot it runs while you are playing CoD4

If you have a 4-year old laptop melly, chances are that if you are looking to capture the speed of computers today you will need to buy a new one. If you are looking to stay with a laptop, I think another Dell laptop would be a very suitable choice, and prices are quite competitive at the...

Sound/Headset issue

Is it possible that the new sound drivers are just that much louder? and you have to turn down accordingly? I had speakers that were stupidly loud at some point and I had to creak them MAYBE 1/50th of the volume thing and they were a good level.

I've had an svchost.exe virus before, where a very smiliar thing happened with my computer. There were many duplicates of it running, and taking up a large percentage of processing power. I needed to reformat to get rid of it. Since you've gotten recently I'd probably recommend that, and if...

Don't turn your computer on again with the 250W, and you'll probably find out pretty quickly if something isn't working with the new PSU.
