EPTI'm sorry guys, but I'm computer-retarded and I don't know what's going on. Tech-support thought it was IE, but I use chrome. Any ideas as to the problem?
edit: If you need more info, just ask. I gave everything that I thought was pertinent.

download hardware monitor and run it when ur machine is idle. Record/SS the temps. then do some heavy activity and do the same. btw, when is the last time you cleaned out the dust? How old and what kind of parts do you have? | ||

Like does the computer remain on with fans spinning and lights on and you might even be able to still hear sounds? download hardware monitor and run it when ur machine is idle. Record/SS the temps. then do some heavy activity and do the same. btw, when is the last time you cleaned out the dust? How old and what kind of parts do you have? the moniter blinks and says no signal. But the lights on my computer also goes off. So I think it is in fact the computer. All right, where do I get hardware monitoring stuff? My computer is like six months old or so, and I've never dusted it off. It's a stock gateway (didn't build my own I'm a shame yadyadyada.) Pentium dual core. Nvidia graphics card. But I don't know the specs on either one. Um...I'll try to find my computer one sec sorry. edit: In no way is this computer overclocked it's a factory made gateway. | ||

But regardless, get a can of dust off and some qtips and just clean all the dust out of the fans and shit. then get as much dust out of the heatsinks and other shit as you can. If that doesn't help it. then it could be other things (but it can't really hurt to dust it out, unless ofc you static shock some parts). Take it outside to do this. | ||

I think he's saying that 6GB of ram is overkill considering the other specs... especially the subpar GeForce 9200 graphics card, which is actually really bad if you want to do some serious gaming on the computer. Regardless is this computer still covered under the warranty?? Its only 6 months old so it should be, and considering this might(probably is) a hardware problem, your easiest solution is to get the company to fix it for you. A quick check of the website tells me that it still is under warranty and in fact alot of the people on newegg have been having trouble with their rigs as well. On a side note, | ||
