before i did above, i tried vainlessly to figure out what's causing it. went through the motherboard's and the new video card's manual.. apparently, this thing happened after i installed the "coolest card in the whole wide world!" (btw, i look it up in the local PC shops and it's not yet available. what they have here are 256MB's not the 512's which i have. and they, the high end 256's cost around 18 grand!) it could have been triggered by the fact that this card also requires a separate power cos its on-board fan is a "power-hog" thus, requiring more load from the power supply. therefore, more power needs more ventilation since it'll heat the whole sytem up faster.
i tinkered with the jumper settings all the way to startup/boot settings... to no avail. it still shuts down after minutes or hours of use.
this is what happens when you have more time downing alcohol and joining forums instead of learning new things and refreshing old skills... you get RUSTY!
i took out the fans and tested its airflows... presto! the problem is good as solve... at least that's what i thought.
well, the next best things to do are: buy a 250Gig of hard disk, additional 512MB memory to make it 1Gig of available RAM and install new softwares.. those that would get me much needed tools for learning. of course, the GAMES, dude!
btw, for the geeks out there, sorry to bore you and yes, the above-mentioned upgrades are the only things i can afford as of the moment... just an ordinary employee here bud... nothing more, nothing less.
so, forget about nightouts, sexy ladies, beerfest and beerfriends, bars/club hoppings, videoke sessions and all that intoxicating fun, i ain't talking about those shits for now... today, i'm in PC Modding mode!
