WoW : Something happened 2 months ago and i can't fix it. When Water efects is higher than Fair (ex Good) my GPU dies. Literally. I get blue screen and PC resets.
Hi there. My PC works pretty nice but i have some trouble with it. Basically the GPU started letting me down, the fan is very noisy and im not sure if i need an CPU upgrade too. I bought my PC about 2 years ago all new from the shop, i did not choose any parts. It is a Packard Bell imedia s3712 with following specs:
Processor : Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5400 @ 2.70Ghz 2.70 Ghz.
RAM : 8.00 GB DDR3
Graphic Card : GeForce GT 320 - 1024MB Dedicated DDR3
I couldn't find anything about the motherboard just this :
Manufacturer Packard Bell
Product imedia S3712
I guess i will need a better power supply too?

- I can't look at my PSU right now, i think the sticker is on the other side dammit so i have to take it out to look at it.

You need to provide:
- Your target games / software you want to use
- The FPS you want to have / on what settings you want to play
- Your screen resolution
- Your need for an Operating System (e.g. Windows 7?)
- Your PSU's details, there's a sticker at the side of it.
- Your budget.

To be honest I would say it's time to start a new build in total. Packard bell has proprietary PSU designs. An of the shelf PSU is not going to work.
I am going to post is a basic setup here for you if you want something more high end just let me know and I can post some of that.

I would die to get you banned from these forums. Honestly, what the hell are you posting here for when you clearly have no idea of computer technology ?? Originally Posted by coldfiredragon

This is from hardwareversand.de - they ship to Norway for 30 euros.
I expect you could re-use the DvD drive, RAM & HDD from your old computer.
