i am desperately trying to figure out the issue..but no luck so far
i had changed my configuration on saturday from this
e6300
msi neo2
7100 gs
index cabby n psu
2g corsair ram
160g hdd
1 dvd writer
and then changed the gpu to x1900xtx and psu to smartpower 2.0 500w
it was running fine till today...didnt play any games as the cabby was crammed. so only browsing and songs was done.
i just switched it on, opened windows, then the net..and at about a min or so, the pc shuts down..then a burning smell(oh boy)
i tried restarting, it switches off before windows opens
then i removed the gpu and put on the 7100 back in...i get a msg with the MSI logo " warning:" it was something about overclocking has not worked out last time or so (no, i didnt overclock )..before i could make some sense of it the screen goes blank again
then i removed the psu...and put the old index back in(as it was working fine with earlier configuration)...same result
i am not sure whether the msg on overclocking came after replacing the gpu or after replacing the psu
then i removed evething, i had put them back...same result..
and i guess the burning smell is coming from the cpu cooler...does the cpu paste is actually a paste??...it was just a ash color as far as saw it...
any suggestions on wat i shld check just to confirm the source...thankfully ordered my as5 yesterday before all this happened (but out station courier:S )
