Re: 8000+ POL Benchmark Score ~ Game still glitches/crashes regularly

Now that I think about it when I assembled the computer it didn't come with enough brass standoffs to bolt every hole in the motherboard down. I have 9/12 holes filled.

Could this possible be causing grounding issues? Or does it sound more like a faulty PSU?

Cheap? I don't consider $130 for 650 watts at Circuit City, cheap. I think the 700 watt one was $180. Of course, you can find a cheaper ps on the internet but if you are in a hurry, as we were, then the local store prices are not cheap one bit. Even on the internet a decent 700-750 watt ps are over a hundred dollars and I don't think too many people are going to consider that cheap.

Well I don't know this guys financial status. Nor do I know his living habits. As for myself its easy for me to grab a part or 2 because I live close to a computer warehouse. This guy may not. But considering he has already ordered parts from the past. That he may be willing to order again.

Second you just have to look at his specs. Hes running a highend card, a bunch of fans, and a highend CPU. I haven't even bothered to check the mobo stats, the ram stats. This is a highend system. No reason to cheap out on the PSU. If I were him I wouldnt even drop lower then 600watts.

Lastly I have no clue why youd complain about a PSU price. Especially since you were willing to drop 1400 bucks on a couple of consoles with no games when it came out..

Not 100% sure to be honest. My old computer had missing stand offs but it ran fine and im talking 4 yrs fine. But the one system my friend brought in wasnt even starting. He was missing like 3 standoffs out of 12. I put on 3 more standoffs and it fired right up.

It could very well be the issue. Especially if its missing it in a certain spot. But like I said its best to ask people who see these issues on a daily basis. Just call a computer shop and ask them. They will more times then not verbally Q you in on the issue.

None, Just confused how a vital part ( that you really really need) is so damn expensive at 130 bucks. But other things 6times that much aren't. Besides if this is a true story. Then its has surely made its money back 10fold by now. Business, networking, hobbies.An whatever else you do on your system.

Besides the OP told you it wasnt driver related. Maybe you should concentrate on helping him
