General Game Performance - Anyone Else Feel The Way I Do?

[Rydin]

Thank you Rydinand Delsus for you input, i will look into the video card, i have another quick question that might be related, but every so often my computer reboots during play of ffxiv, it only happens once in a while, it actually just happened whiched reminded me of my post here, so i decided to come check to see if my computer is the issue. I dont think it is overheating but im not sure. I dont understand why it only happens every so often. Any help would be great!!
thanks agian

edit= with this Radeon 5870 will i need a new power supply?

You can google Power supply calculator and there is a good one that gets updated regularly called "eXtreme Power Supply Calculator" that lets you put in your system specs and it will give you your peak power draw
adding a 5870... you could squeak by with 500+ but I'd really REALLY recommend having 650 or so of a good tier3 or higher power supply

Could be heat... could be power supply related...
could be both....
Check your mother board for blown capacitors...
I'd say check your power supply for blown capacitors also... if you are comfortable opening it up....
Monitor your CPU temp and see if it gets very hot right before it restarts....

I can't possibly give a definitive answer over the internet...
But... I have seen blown capacitors cause this type of problem before... Thats where I'd put my money....

You can google images of blown capacitors... once you know what to look for... its pretty easy to check... even a little of the fluid leaking out of the top or any of the capacitors looking puffy will indicate a problem

it is very random when this happens, after it happen today, i logged back on for about 4-5 hours with no issues at all....
i edited my previous post to say that my Power supply is 700w

what would you concider a high temp, it doesnt get much higher than 60c

Is there a way to cool my PC more...i have what looks like 3-4 fans already?

Yea, My computer runs it fine but the performance is what was bothering me.

I also noticed on inclines, especially when going down, the characters starts to shake really rapidly... what the hell? Its like hes going down infinitely tiny stairs or something... I hope i'm not the only one who has seen this
