I reckon ill just do that actually. Worst bit is just finding the time to play, which was easy back before i had a girlfriend >.< Should see you all next Wednesday

Long time no see CiA! Some of the best gaming experiences i have had have been with you guys, as soon as you got an ArmA2 server going id love to join back in :)

Pretty quiet so far, only 3/4 of us playing atm. Guess I won't give up OFP just yet heh.

Do you have ArmA Gold Edition or ArmA and the QG expansion seperate? I have the gold edition and can't see those files...

Nice photos of Schmalfelden, MrCash. Just want to add one of my own to show the map's gorgeous countryside too.

I have the ArmA Gold Edition. When launching from the beta patch 1.12 exe the Queen's Gambit content is gone from in game. I can use it again by launching from the original exe. Is this meant to be like that? EDIT: Nevermind, ive got it, EDIT 2: Hang on, the only hotfixes in the dbe1/addons folder are hotfix.pbo and hotfix.pbo.bi.bisign, not the two mentioned there^ What do i do? =/

Ooh its been a while. And CiA has moved on to ArmA? Well im building a new rig this Friday and will be looking to pick up ArmA soon after. Joining co-ops with you lot again would be nice. Hope to see you in the near future then ^__^

The PSU not having the sufficient amount of amps on the +12V rails is likely. The whole computer would not shut down if so, it would shut down when the card is drawing more power (from playing games) and the PSU not being able to give it. But this two cable thing should be dealt with so, Barvo, have you tried connecting the second cable? After you put it in you should attempt to play ArmA and if it works well your problem is solved. If the same thing happens as before (computer shutting down needing a forced reboot) then yes the PSU is not powerful enough. It has enough watts, but the amps is the issue. Do not question it, just try it! Nothing terrible will happen.

Because wattage is not the only important thing in a power supply. Just like on processors for example, a 3.5Ghz Pentium 4 will be beaten by a 1.8Ghz Core Duo processor. The amount of amps supported on the rails is important, an usually overlooked detail that leads to issues such as the one in this topic.

Ok, you are Portuguese, right? Well I dont know of any online Portuguese sites but they would be expensive anyway. Go back to the shop you got the power supply from and see if you can exchange it (will probably need to put some more money into it) for one equivilant to the Enermax in my above post. On the +12V rails there must be a minimum of 22A (do not worry about what this means, just remember the values, write them down and take your notes to the shop, ask to see the label on the PSU if it doesnt tell you on the box and match the values up).

Bravo 6, your PSU is unfortunately insufficient. The problem you described fits this analysis. I had the same problem last week, my PSU could not handle the overclock I had on my graphics card and that exact same thing would happen. The computer would appear to be running but nothing would be visible on the monitor as if it were off and a forced reboot was required. That is now fixed with my new power supply. Did you order the PSU online or buy from a shop? Either way attempt to get a refund and look into buying something like this. Unrelated to your problem but thats an odd RAM setup you have there. If you were to get another 1GB stick the same as your current you could run in dual mode whih should prove to be much faster than what you have now. Something to think about for a future upgrade perhaps.

And what is inside the steel box, Jaspion?
