When I try to write dvds using windows dvd maker or programs of a similar ilk my computer turns itself off halfway through. It also very rarely turns itself off randomly anyway. I cannot seem to find the problem and any help would be very much appreciated. My operating system is windows vista ultimate. I thought it may be something to do with the fan system I have in my computer so I have saved a report of everest so that anyone with more knowledge on this kind of thing can give an opinion, but not sure whether or how to post the report.

What do you mean by the computer turning of halfway?

[happyrock]

go here and get everest home 1.51...install and launch it...
click on the + beside computer...then sensor...get a screenshot so I can check your temps and voltage's...

[vimes]

every time I click on the sensor icon I get a blank screen it doesn't show anything

[vimes]

Just after I posted the last post it worked.

your temps look good but you have several in the voltage that are low...do you have access to a PSU of equal to or greater voltage you could try...

[vimes]

I don't have one but I may be able to get my hands on one. I will try and get it.

[vimes]

still struggling to get hold of one. The writing on the side of the psu doesn't say what power rating it is but it does give voltage values for 200 watts and 400 watts so I am presuming it is going to be a 400 watt one.

[happyrock]

give us the make and model of your computer....

[vimes]

he make and model number are BIOSTAR Group P4M90-M7 Ver:1.0
Not sure if that is exactly what you wanted but I have a report from belarc if you would like to look through it to see if it has any more helpful information also was wondering if anyone can help me figure out why youtube etc. seem to be stuttering through because they are constantly waiting to load.
