3mb size

download Speed Fan & check your PC temperature

download- SpeedFan 4.31

& check whether RAM, gfx. card are FITTED Properly.

P.S. is your PC's PSU capable of running these. do give some info on PSU too.

most probably yr fan is not spinning at
optimum speed or psu is not providing enough power for the system..

PSU...? is it SMPS of cabinet....

SMPS is of frontech and is of 400W

speed of CPU fan is over 2300rpm i suppose nd warning speed in BIOS is 800rpm.

One thing when i was playing NFS carbon today....after one nd half hour , system got hanged nd when i pressed alt+ctrl+del to open task manager. a error came regarding graphics nd whole system graphic's got changed to 16bit or more less...like i'm in safe mode. this type error and situation which came today ,i had seen before in my previous system ( intel celron + mercury board ) when that time RAm of that system was not ok. so i changed nd after that everthing is fine in that system. Will it be RAM prob in this too...although it is new RAM....

Frontech is not a good make !!! (even i heard that 400 watt many times is 300 watt and labelled as 400)

I have heard;

So change to a better SMPS = PSU maybe of Cooler master or EVEN INTEX or Odeyssey 400 or 450 watts.

and i think the problem can be mostly coz of PSU(SMPS)

your RAM is ok to play

one thing i wanna know that my processore is 64bit ( AMD 3800+ 64 x2 AM2 ) nd i'm using xp pro (32 bit) will it also cause prob.

Ram is of irvine ( name mentioned over a lable/sticker on IC of ram)

[shantanu]

no it will not cause any problem ,,, Even i am using AMD 64 FX processor and am using Xp-pro Sp2(32bit) and Vista (64bit) and FC(64bit)

so it never makes a difference

[Matrix]

do u know any website which can give me better idea of 64bit windows app/softwares . u told u r using vista 64bit . will it work on my system ( system confirguration mentioned before ) from where did u got that ..mail me info at matrix_shagun@yahoo.com....thanks

[shantanu]

surely it will work & very finely

[Matrix]

Tell me that my processore AMD 3800+ x2 (AM2) is a 64bit processore or a 32 bit processore...... ?

Is there any methode on my system or on website of AMD which can insure me that processore i'm using is a 64bit or 32bit processore.

www.amd.com
i think X2 dual core is a 64 bit proccy

[Chirag]

^^
AMD 3800 is 64-bit processor.

[Matrix]

r u shure...that it is 64bit...any methode to get info

because i'm using xp pro 32bit and in device manager , properties of processore , details is showing ACPI\AUTHENTICAMD_-_X86_FAMILY_15_MODEL_75\_0

so it is showing x86..........?

[shantanu]

Amd 64 athlon X2 is a dual Core 64 bit processor which is a leading Dual core type Processor after C2D
