tagerrung said:it didnt work...and now my PC is short circuiting so it shuts down 10 seconds after i turn it on.... :'( i think i know why though...but i have to get my CPU fan back off and its stuck.... *&%$! #$%&!
i was trying to find what that plugs into and i figured it was the grpahics card, but my graphics card doesnt need its own power source...unless i am blind...this is the type it is ATI X1600XT34erd said:Have you plugged in the six pin PCI-e power conector? It looks like this and plugs into the graphics card:
monkeysims said:Ok, I also had this problem. Turned out my CPU was overheating and causing my system to shut down. Check the thermal paste and make sure the heatsink is properly installed.
tagerrung said:everyone told me i dont need thermal paste, and i dont have it...and my heatsink is fked up and the only time it doesnt short circuit is when it is in this one position
tagerrung said:ok, i have to go, sum1 else in the family needs this PC, thanks all of you for your help and i will take this to Fries tomorrow and have them fix it for me thnx alot for all the info guys!
