Sounds like your graphics card has had it to me.

Well, I have an eye-t PSU that has given me 4 years flawless service so far....

I have the 450watt dual fan which they no longer make but eye-t PSU's seem to be decent quality and relatively cheap...

You may notice a small difference with a pc, but not that much. Hook a HD box up to it and you will notice a massive difference on the channels that are broadcast in HD.

Does the heatsink get hot to the touch?

Sounds like a dodo to me.

That all depends on what is connected to it.

One thing to remember though, it's not having an XP disk that is important, it's having a valid and legal serial number for it.

To tell if your PSU fires up or not you can disconnect it from the mobo then use a piece of wire to short the green wire to any black one. If nothing happens when you do this (provided the mains is...

No problem and best of luck. :)

My advice is to spend as much as you can reasonably afford on your PSU.
A decent quality PSU will last longer, run cooler, and do less or no damage should it fail many years down the line. Decent...

The only thing I can think of is perhaps they haven't tested the CPU's marked N/A.

Must admit that I also suspect the CPU too.

That's good new indeed. :)

Go for a good quality 450watt or more and you will be fine.

I am not entirely sure what that last column is all about but the fact the CPU is listed at all........

So, any change?

HIPRO isn't a known quality make. Not sure if the PSU is the problem tho.

18amps sounds right.

Remove your ram and make sure the edge connectors are clean then remove the CPU and check for bent pins.

Unplug the hard drive and see if you get a different error message.

Is it a PC or a laptop?

Can you remember what make the original PSU was? Was it Bestec by any chance? If so, I would suspect CPU and possibly ram damage.

It wont stay on for more than 2 minutes so it's not the hard disk or the operating system causing the problem.

Take the side off and have a look at the label on the PSU...

What about make and model?

17amps on the 12volt rail is a bit on the low side these days.
Most systems need 18amps or more.

The E5300 is listed there. Have a look in the 800Mhz FSB area, it's somewhere in the middle of that section.

Next, check that there are no bent pins in the monitor cable. If not, you will need to open your pc up and remover and refit the graphics card (if it has one).

Josh Connerty, please read the site rules.

Might be worth giving your graphics cards heatsink a good dust out just in case.

That should work fine. Socket number and FSB match up so....

Is it plugged into your PC properly?

Do you mean it wont start up properly?

Are you absolutely sure it's a R60? as I can't find anything in the way of drivers for it.

Look at 18 amps being the absolute minimum.

Oops! I didn't spot that it was a lappy.

It should be in power options.

Is your mobo sata 2 compliant? Are you mirroring from sata to sata or from ata to sata?

No, a graphics card will make far more difference as built in graphics are usually very low end.

Try installing the Vista motherboard drivers. That may cure the problem.
