First post here because I have no idea where to go on this situation.
Specs (I'm guessing its needed. )
*nothing is overclocked*
Intel Core2Duo E8400 3.0
APEVIA ATX-CW500WP4 500W ATX Power Supply
Intel BOXDX48BT2 LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ
ASUS EN8600GTS/HTDP/256M GeForce 8600 GTS 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16
Western Digital Caviar Blue WD6400AAKS 640GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s
Using 2 CD\DVD Drives that I'm guessing dont need specs.
Vista Ultimate x64
Sorry for the long title names.. but i linked the newegg product with it..
Anyways,
The Problem-
I was having problems with my 8600GTS with the dumb update that I did and it was messing up anytime I tried to play counter strike.
So after looking up the error and everything, trying solution I could find, nothing worked. I thought "maybe something in the bios can fix it" and I went into the bios and looked at what was in it. I changed a couple of things from "disable" to "enable" (dont remember what) but it had nothing to do with the video card.
I save changes and wait for the computer to restart. It sometimes turns on then off then back on when i first changed settings in my bios so i thought this was normal.. until it would continuously do it. It wont get past like 1.5 REAL seconds before turning back off and retrying to turn on.
Having no idea what to do, i search online and saw that if i removed the internal battery (the circle on the mobo) and taking off the supply and "draining" the computer by pressing the power button a couple times without the power supply, then waiting a minute then putting back the small battery would reset the bios.
I don't know, but it didn't work. Still the same problem. What should i do? Help is extremely appreciated as this is basically my main computer and the alternative (mac ) doesn't perform as well as this computer.
Thanks guys. Hope to hear back.
