  1. SuperJam

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    You must be pretty handy to have around the Sunday dinner table.

    Sick!:puke:

    Anyway, the whole point of this thread was to introduce SuperJam people who haven't heard of it. I appreciate there are other Jams on the market without added sugar, however this is a Scottish teenager that has created a great product and it may be worth a try. It may even be better than the jam that currently goes on your toast in the morning, could be cheaper AND you're supporting a young Scottish lad who has done really well.

    Plus the fruits they use are pretty unusual for jam too.

    I'm getting hungry writing this... time for dinner! :popcorn:

    Great news problem solved! I managed to get a New PSU and it's done the trick. Apparently I didn't have enough rails in my old PSU which meant there wasn't enough of a consistency of power (hence the reason why it was turning off when the GPU was demanding more power). Its now a 550watt PSU but more rails so more consistency... also a better make too.

    Hopefully that will be the last problem for a while.

    Thanks folks.

    I have 02, it's the package that you get for 7.99 if you are an 02 customer. Had it since October and I haven't had any problems with capping or download limits, and I'm regularly downloading shitloads of massive files. :up:

    How big?

    I've just been capped by Demon because I've went over the 50gb limit.

    Where do you live by the way? Because I'm half way down Holburn Street and they say I'll need to pay 17 because I'm not in the right area! 7 would be so much better...

    I'm an o2 customer too so I'll get the discounted rates.

    Hey guys, once again fantastic advice so thanks a lot.

    I have a 600watt PSU which would make me think that it would be able to handle the load however I've heard that it's also a lot down to the quality (model) of the PSU too.

    Both GPU and CPU temps are whilst running GeoForms which pushes the rig pretty hard.

    All drivers are the most up to date ones too.

    The start up issues are only when I start it by pushing the power button. It manages to reboot fine just takes several attempts to boot. This is both from cold and from after shutting down.

    It's in at Everst Tech just now so hopefully find out by tonight. I'll post the solution later but I am guessing that all of you are right in that it's a PSU issue. That would mean a new PSU would do the trick!

    Thanks again!

    Got a bit of a problem and taking it back to the shop tomorrow for checks but I was wondering if anyone had any advice or similar problems in the past?

    I have a brand new custom built media centre PC (see specs below) and for some reason it keeps powering off when in use (Screen goes blank, fans stop and lights go out).

    This generally happens when playing games. I was playing GTA IV and it turns off within about the first minute of gameplay.

    Also with PES 2009 I played it for about 5minutes and the same happened.

    After restarting my PC I also turned on DreamScene and it happened again (however this has only happened once).

    I originally thought it was a overheating problem however this is now unlikely as 'speed fan' says my GPU is at about 55*c-62*c when playing GTA and even cooler for PES. (Normal temps for a GPU)

    Also I can run Nvidia GeoForms and my GPU can go up to 68*C but has also just switched off my PC.

    CPU temps are also fine at about 40*C.

    Totally confused and I don't understand what's causing the problem? Also the PC doesn't boot on the first attempt, can take up to 4 or 5 attempts of pressing the power button to get it to load...

    Maybe a PSU problem?

    Any advice would be appreciated? I know this isn't a technology forum but it's helped in the past.

    Spec:

    INTEL CORE 2 DUO E7400 2.80GHZ

    CONSAIR 4GB DDR2 RAM

    GEFORCE 9800GTX+ 512MB

    SEAGATE HD's

    ASUS P5N7A-VM

    Antec Fusion Remote Case

    Thanks

    Consumer Broadband

    Demon broadband. Had it for ages now. Virtually no problems, great service, and as cheap as anything. It is unlimited so long as you stick to the fair use policy.

    17.99 p/m

    up to 8mb

    my mates introduced me a while back, they are all on it and really like it. Same with me!

    I take this back.

    Their customer service is shit and gave me wrong figures for my downloads which in turn made me go over my download limit. Now downloads are going at 10kbps and they cant do anything about it as it's capped.

    Going to move over to O2 Home Access. Has anyone had any experience of this broadband? 17.13 per month with totally unlimited downloads.

    Advice would be appreciated
