Get a better power supply.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20938368 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 10:51:15 EDT Re: PC shuts down when playing Anno 1701. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20937758 Airwolf : I don't think the cause of the shut down is UPS related. You're not running on battery until the main power is cut from the outlet.

Does Event Viewer show any errors?

Also, I would pick up the 4850 or 4870. The 4850 alone stomps the 3870 and is almost on par with a 3870X2.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20937758 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 08:36:22 EDT PC shuts down when playing Anno 1701. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20937370 helboy : Hi,
I am having a unique problem with my new system.Whenever I play Anno 1701 tutorial,the system shuts down.The problem occurs at the start of the third chapter in the tutorial game .I am confused as to whether this is bcos the system graphics is not sufficient or some other issue related to power supply.My system config is given below
AMD X2 5200+
Gigabyte GA-MA78GM S2H
Corsair Value 1Gb *2 DDR2 667Mhz
Seagate 250GB SATA2
Seagate 40GB IDE(old hdd)
SONY DVD RW
Viewsonic 17" wide TFT
UMAX 650W SMPS.
I have a UPS to which i have connected the pc,which is 600Va / 360W .
Planning to buy a 3870/3850 graphics card in 3 months.

Going through the specs,can anybody tell me whether the 600Va UPS is proving to be too weak to handle the load of the 650W smps? Should I upgrade the UPS to 700Va or more?I am at a loss.

thanks]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20937370 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 03:43:45 EDT
