Hi,

I got new PC quite impressive, I can run like 3-4 games at a time no worries etc, but 2 certain games seem to use PORT 80 i found out, and cause of this my PC has a fit and restarts itself. Any way to change the port on which they play or?

Im trying to run cabal online and 2moons. I changed the settings to NOT restart on error but pc still restarts....

If at first you don't succeed, simply give up and let me do it!!!

If the PC is restarting, you either have an overheating problem or your power supply is inadequate. PSU recommendations have changed...it's better to have a single +12v rail with mega amperage than multiple +12v rails of 18A each. You should have a minimum of 500W with at least 30A on the +12v rail & it should be from a reputable name brand...not a generic cheapo. The PSUs that come prepackaged with a case are usually weak crap, unless you pay $100+ for the case. Even then, you'd have to check the specs to be sure.

also is ur computer well ventilated? various hardware overheating will cause random restarts without bsods. check system temperatures and report back. but check ur psu first as mentioned above.

the fans r the size of my outstretched hand...there are plenty of fans in the case, and the power supply isnt generic, i forgot which 1 i got but its 650 watt. The case is a proper gaming case, its huge also. I did pay good money lol. i just figured the error was due to the games, cause it only happens with them 2 games.

"there are plenty of fans in the case"

More isn't necessarily better. Tests have shown that a single exhaust fan in the rear of the case provides the best cooling.

Wattage means nothing is the amperage isn't distributed properly. There are plenty of garbage 650W PSUs out there. Post the make/model.

"The case is a proper gaming case, its huge also. I did pay good money"

Just because you paid a lot doesn't mean it's good.
