Question
MishkaKatyusha
ok.
some time ago i repaired my sister's computer by replacing the powerbox with an old one i cannibalized from what i term a "computer husk" (something thats essentially leftover from other projects and has one or more working parts left but not all)
now,whenever she logs onto secondlife,precisely after about two hours her computer loses pwoer with no forwarning
i figure this might be because the powerbox is old and worn out,i ordered a new one which should be here tuesday
but in the mean time im curious about something
the powerbox that is "flopping" as it were is a 500w.
my sister's comp's vid card is an nvidia gtx 750 ti
second life's default graphics setting dealy there set here graphic's settings to a tad just bit below ultra
and seeing as this only ever happens when the comp is doing graphically intensive stuff like second life
while i mwaiting for the 750w powerbox i ordered to get here,would turning my sister's comp's SL graphics settings down abit help with this problem?
my computer never does this on SL,and it has the same sort of 500w powerbox,but it uses an amd radeon hd 6670,and as such SL's graphics settings popped to a slight bit above medium
