was there a sheet of paper listing what is inside your computer? please look and see if it says what power supply is inside

 

[hclarkjr]

in reading 2 reviews for your computer the one thing mentioned is that the power supply is low power. you are going to need to get new power supply for your computer.

what do you mean?

 

[hclarkjr]

your power supply is not big enough for your computer and you will need to get new power supply

 

[MiserySyndrome]

on a website i found something about 250W

 

[hclarkjr]

like i said you need to buy new power supply, i would recommend at least a 700 watt power supply for your system.

how much does that cost?
will that mean that i lose my warranty?

 

[hclarkjr]

cost depends on what brand you pick, with you being in different country the prices are going to be different for you. i would highly recommend you contact the company that sold it to you and complain they sold you something that is faulty. if they sold it to you in this condition that is up to them to fix it

Coudl'n it be a fault in the directory of drivers?

 

[MiserySyndrome]

I also found this::
Fix: Go to windows/system32/drivers and rename nvlddmkm.sys to
nvlddmkm.sys.old. Go to the nvidia directory and find the file nvlddmkm.sy_
and copy it to windows/system32. Using the cmd window (DOS box) type
EXPAND.EXE nvlddmkm.sy_ nvlddmkm.sys. When the expansion is complete, copy
the new nvlddmkm.sys to windows/system32/drivers and restart the computer.

the new nvlddmkm.sys to windows/system32/drivers and restart the computer.


Could this work?
Or make my computer crash?

 

[hclarkjr]

you can try those but i am telling you that your power supply is not working correctly. those readings you gave are below what they should be at. this could damage other parts of your computer if not corrected

Isn't there another way?
This is the primary pc at home...

 

[MiserySyndrome]

for example increasing the power?

 

[hclarkjr]

the only way to increase the power is buy another power supply. when you bought the computer why did you buy a budget computer that was not designed for gaming?

It's was supposed to be used for office purposes, programming and photshopping and stuff.
But I'm looking for a computer (not that expensive) for gaming only.
I found some, but it costs 2000$+

 

[MiserySyndrome]

what do I need to look at when buying a game pc?

 

[hclarkjr]

what types of games you play is the main one. if you want to play all the new games like crysis and so forth you will need computer that can handle that game. if you want to play games you will have to pay for it.

Well,
I found this one: Acer Predator
Is it good?

 

[hclarkjr]
