PC keeps restarting and wont go to windows

ir1z — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 10:03:39 +0800

Well ive been using the pc for some time......but have got to this very peculiar problem recently

Well it will first restart and goes pass boot screen goes to the win logo screen than buff restart again over and over again the same thing

The solution i found to rectify for the moment was to shut it down and turn off the PSU and turn it on again. When this is done than i am able to go to windows properly.

But still the restart will come again after some time and i have to do the on and off again..............

1) when tried to scandisk it says autocheck missing
2) havent installed anything new either h/ware or s/ware

anyone with any clue what is wrong? i am terribly mesmerized as never encountered such a problem before.

cant seem to start CNC Generals or zero hour

ir1z — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 14:52:01 +0800

hii to all....

just wondering if anyone else seem to have my same trouble. As with my laptops and previous rig it played ok. However on my new rig the games just refuse to start. When double clicked It will come out the picture of the game but wont load anything after that. Just come out some error msg. I forgot what the msg said. Could this be due to directx? or something else.

p/s: its a jacksparrow edition tapi on other pc aku install jalan ok why erk?

PC suddenly lags, and is running slow

ir1z — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 16:19:24 +0800

Yesterday i was trying to install some codecs and finnnally did install musicmatchjukebox(mmjb) n realplayer. Have delete all the mmjb files as it was useless in playing the files i wanted as realplayer did the job.

However today when i finally restarted since yesterday my windows loading was unbelievebly slow. and i mean really slow. it usually takes around 30 sec to post and all now takes around 5 minutes to complete. Not just that everything in the system when i multi-open it will start lagging like hell.

ive done kav virus scan, spyware scan using S&D,spywareblaster. but to no avail. CUrrently just finish scan disk and doing a defrag.
ive oso tried checking my startup files for anything funny but dont seem to see one

Im currently clueless to the reason as to why this has happen............

my spec and speed on my rig can be seen on my sig below.......

Best edifier for RM700

ir1z — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 16:16:56 +0800

Sorry if this is redundant......

but with my kind of budget what which model would u guys rec for a edifier? i was testing at the shop and the C3 sounds awesome. However uncertain do i need that external amplifier or not. Since my mobo already come with a decent supreme FXII card already (though not awesome but sufficient for the mean time)

Asus Maximus,striker 2 and EVGA 780i

ir1z — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 09:40:42 +0800

Need u guys opinion. No need to base it on what GC it can handle

just give base on heat matters, OCability,and others excluding what gc it supports for now(till asked for later) TQ in advance to all

PC Restarting itself

ir1z — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 21:26:36 +0800

Tonite it suddenly keep restarting out of the blue for 3 times already with no warning what so ever. See my rig base on sig below.

already checked
1)not a heat problem as im using everest on all the time and not seen tempt go beyond 56 on any component or part yet. This is with air-cond on
2)dont see any red light on mobo indicating power shortage base on my maximus formula mobo that is.
3)no sound or smell of anything burnt or as such on any hardware

so basically im stumped why is it happening
p/s: on the third restart got this error report though
BCCode : 10000050 BCP1 : 9D8C602A BCP2 : 00000000 BCP3 : 8051FBB5
BCP4 : 00000000 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 2_0 Product : 768_1

Zalman FG1000

ir1z — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 08:51:02 +0800

OMG has it gone to this level
review from maximumpc.com

We've tested some crazy mice over the years, from ergonomic wonders designed to prevent RSI to dedicated gaming mice shaped like an actual handgun, but the new Zalman FPSGun is one of the oddest-looking designs we've ever tested. We approve of its neutral-grip, sensor-forward design, but the actual implementation has resulted in a mouse that's just too small for the vast majority of gamers to use.

We very much like the sensor-forward design for certain types of shooters. By moving the 2000dpi adjustable-resolution optical sensor away from the area directly beneath your hand, Zalman gives you much more precise horizontal control than a typical mouse offers, although it comes at the expense of vertical control. For gamers who play lots of headshot-oriented tactical shooters, such as Counter-Strike or Call of Duty 4, this could be a very good thing. For games that require as much vertical movement as horizontal, you'll need to load up the included software and tweak the vertical sensitivity pretty heavily.

Zalman got quite a bit right with the design, placing two triggers on the forward-facing edge of the grip, but moving the mouse wheel beneath your thumb. There's also a pair of thumb buttons and a profile-switching button on the front portion of the mouse. While the mouse ships with three default sensitivity profiles, you can manually adjust the sensitivity- and refresh-rate settings for each profile using the included software, and you can instantly tell which profile is active by looking at the multicolored, illuminated scroll wheel.

Unfortunately, the mouse is much too small to comfortably hold if you have normal-size hands. Because you hold the FPSGun with your hand in a vertical position, the blade of your hand rests on the mousing surface. In order to keep your fingers on the trigger button, you need to splay your pinky out to the side of the mouse, which can become quite uncomfortable-not to mention the dirtying effect your grubby mitts will have on your mousepad. Factor in that its unique design makes it difficult to use for more typical desktop work, and it's difficult to endorse this rodent.

p/s: sorry if this is old news
