if you use alt and print screen it will only capture the top window, you can then host it by uploading http://imageshack.us/ << there

Yeah, throw it at me ATI, same address as last time.

Matt D, if he sends it to me I can shrink it down to under 100KB using PSP, Imageshack have a 1MB limit, and I'm not sure MSpaint is any good at compression.

hiya

thanks for the offer matt d

i already sent it to spec

i,m bit suspicious of the values

[specofdust]

Damn, thats not particularly good.

I can't figure out whats up with this thing. I mean, a 600W PSU should be able to handle all those drives.

My suggestion would be try unplugging all the drives(optical and HDD) apart from the one that the operating system is installed on, then start speedfan and see how the figures compare.

Sorry I can't give you better news mate, I really thought a new PSU would sort you out.

[ati]

thanks for that

well the only think i need to do to confirm thats its the psu

is just use it aggrissavly like last time as i did with the tagan

2 encodes and burns

see what happens

well keep you posted

and thanks for everything by the way

No problem mate, sorry I couldn't be of more assitance.

Do try the unplugging thing, if that raises voltages then it tells you that you've got too much stuff for even a 600W seasonic to handle, if it doesn't, then theres some other problem.

I suspect your Speedfan reading is bad. Why don't you use a multimeter to actually measure the rail voltage. That would be far more accurate than the onboard sensor.

I have 7 HDDs hooked onto my Antec 550W and the voltage is just +-0.02V from 5V (Rated 40A max). Your 7800GTX is not using the 5V rail, neither do your X2. And the opticals hardly use any electricity.

Try going back to ram or processor. Try running SP2004 and see if there is something wrong? I've seen many times memtest is stable but ram screw up within minutes in windows. About the blue screen, do you see something like nvata.dll?

Also try chkdsk /f /r to see if there are any bad sectors. (Or simply try another temp file location for dvdshrink)

@specofdust & arthurleung

well i didnt unplug anything but i ran the same aggressive usage as i idi when i had a ragan and seasonic handled welll no bsod or shut down i'll try it in winxp sp2

got dual boot sys.

i think the speed fan reading was bad i,m afraid i dont a mm

i dont think its the ram i did try the same thing as i said above and it went ok, well do more testing thought

but as far as recommending seasonic vgood so far

thanks for the input guys

will keep you posted
