Trying to find out cause of game crashes

Lately I have been playing CS: Source.  It seems like more frequently now, when I load into the game (meaning when I finally get to the playable portion of the game) my monitor shuts off after about 3 seconds of seeing the game and then the computer freezes right after.  If i restart and try and run the game I get the same problem, I have been able to start the game after 3 or 4 restarts and had no problem playing for hours.  Then there are some days when I experience no problems at all, I can play till my fingers are numb.  I do not  have my card overclocked. I have no errors with memtest.
When I restart and check the temp of my graphics card its at 65 c.
My best guess is that it is a power supply or graphics card issue.  What are your thoughts.  I am thinking of replacing the psu with this one...any thoughts? would I be better off with a better power supply with lower wattage? (see sig for components in my system)
cool master

Just out of curiosity I posted a question on zalman's website in their "Q & A" section about the heatsink moving.  Their response was:
"Our VF700 is designed to move side to side slightly. It is normal, so do not worry about the performance.
Thanks!
Support/Zalman"
I am really glad now that I did not mess with it.  My temps on my card are now down to 49c Idle on min fan speed which is super silent. Thanks again for everyones help
No prob man.... That Zalman rocks eh?

    Hi Jason,
    Do you install Exchange 2013 on your server? If so, the issue could be due to an Exchange Service process terminated WININIT.EXE. You could refer to the article below to resolve the issue:
    Exchange Server 2013 restarts frequently after Cumulative Update 2 is installed
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2883203
    If the issue still exists, it is not effective for us to debug the crash dump file here in the forum. Therefore, I would like to suggest that you contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support (CSS) via telephone so that a dedicated Support Professional can
    assist with your request.
    To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please take a look at the web site listed below:

    I'm trying to find out how to export my apple contacts to the Salesforce software and they need to be in a csv format and I don't know if this is possible and how to do it if it is?

    I think there are third-party programs which will do that, but you can also do it with Automator:
    See the links in my post, here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22390873#22390873
    The file or clipboard contents will be in Tab Separated vars, so you'll have to open with a spreadsheet program and save as Comma Separated Vars format.

    Hello SMEvans32
    You can use iCloud to share the Calendar, that way she will always be up to date on that particular section of your work calendar. If you want to use iCloud, I would recommend backing up so you have a safe copy of your data.

  • I am trying to find out if I can upgrade my old airport express from WEP to WPA2?  If so, how do I do that?

    I am trying to find out if my old Airport Express can be upgraded from WEP to WPA2?  If so, does anyone know how to do this?  I have a new PC for work reasons and I cannot get online with my WEP password.  I realize now this is why my family and friends who bring PC's into the house cannot connect - I need WPA2 for PC, and besides, I should upgrade anyway as this is more secure than WEP.  Thanks for any help!

    Clone your system.
    Install the 10.6.8 Java update.
    Clone back from your clone you made before installing the update when finished.

  • HELP!!!! I have spent hours trying to find out how to embed an image with a link or a Microsoft Word document with a hyperlink built within the document -- not as an attachment! Does ANYONE know the secret? Can it be done, or not! My PC clients do it.

    HELP!!!! I have spent hours trying to find out how to embed an image with a link, or embed a Microsoft Word document with a hyperlink built within the document -- not as an attachment into my email -- but where it shows as the email content when opened! Does ANYONE know the secret? Can it be done, or not? My PC clients do it all the time easily. Then I want to be able to send the embedded image/document (not as an attachment, but visable within the email when opened) to many email contacts at once, BUT the individuals receiveing them DO NOT SEE the other email contacts. Cannot seem to be able to find anything on being able to do these 2 tasks.PLEASE, SOMEONE, HELP!!!

  • Dead HD trying to find out about this mac

    I am fixing a Macbook for a friend and his hard drive is dead. Almost all the numbers on the back of the computer are worn off. Is there a way to find out what the computer has in it by way of terminal commands possibly? I am trying to find out if I can buy him Mountain Lion and install it on a new hard drive.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Once you've put in the new hard drive and formatted it for the Mac you'll want to put OS 10.6 Snow Leopard on it. The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Put your 10.6 install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot.  As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window.
    Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. You should see your hard drive in the left hand column along with your other drives. Click on the drive and select the Erase tab. Set the format value to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Erase button. After that has finished select the Partition tab. Type in a Name for your hard drive and select how many partitions you want from the Volume Scheme. The usual setting is one partition. Click on the Options button after you've selected a partition to make sure it's set for GUID. Then click the Apply button and after the Partitioning is done quit Disk Utility.
    You can now follow the instructions on the install screen             

  • Trying to find out how to edit artwork, keywords, titles, and descriptions

    Trying to find out how to edit artwork, keywords, titles, and descriptions for my own video podcast that I have created for the iTunes store. My podcast shows on the first page in the itunes store (podcasts) for "forex" "forex training" and "forex education" under the name "fastpips", however I can't seem to find out how to change the title, for each podcast, the description, and keywords. I also want to add artwork to my podcast. I know how to do it under options for my own iTunes on my personal computer, but don't know how to edit it for others to see in the store itself. Thanks so much for any advice. By the way, I upload all my video podcasts to iTunes via ScreenCast.com I'm not sure if this will help, but here is the domain for the screencast files: http://www.screencast.com/users/ForexProFund/folders/FastPips.com%20Forex%20Trad ing%20and%20Forex%20Education

    I have a similar question, I would like to edit the artwork for EACH episode in the podcast, as well as have one artwork for the entire podcast series. Any suggestions? This is a podcast that I've created -- I did the same thing for a TV Show where I was able to do custom artwork for each episode, but not one single artwork for the entire series. Does anyone have suggestions of how i should proceed?
    Recap:
    One image for entire Podcast Series (or TV show)
    Different Set of Images for each episode in Podcast. (Understand how to do this in TV show)
    Thanks!
