What generates the most heat in a computer?
It highly depends on the computer, but it's usually either the GPU, Power Supply or CPU. With GPU and Power Supply generating the most heat normally.
What is the motherboard attched to?
Your motherboard is attached to a power supply inside your system if it is desktop, and a mobile power supply if it is a laptop. The motherboard is built so it fits right into your computer and plugs in. Once it is plugged into that power supply in your computer, then everything else you put in it follows with it. That includes your GPU (graphics card), your CPU (processor), memory, hard drive, the fans for the CPU and GPU, and other things. There are alot of things that a motherboard attaches to.
When upgrading a video card why might yo also have to upgrade your power supply?
Usually not, the only thing you may have to upgrade is your motherboard. Just keep in mind that some of the newer, more powerful video cards will require a certain wattage in your power supply. If your current PSU doesn't meet the requirements (or if it is already over-taxed by other components), you will need an upgrade.
What causes computer crashes?
A virus, the computer overheating, too many programmes running at once :)
What is a good gaming set up At the moment I have a Radeon HD4670super GPU I want 4gig of ram a new CPU a new power supply 500 to 600 watts and a new motherboard that is compatible with my GPU?
As of now, any ATI 4 series cards provide great performance at a low price. An Intel CPU with an LGA 775 socket will be your best bet along with 4GB of RAM. A 500 Watt PSU is enough for a 4670, however if you want to run more than 1 of those or add a faster GPU, check the power specs on the GPU. For example a 4870 will need around a 450W PSU however you need to take into consideration other computer components so I would recommend around 650W-700W to be safe and have room to upgrade in the future.
If your motherboard shorted out and burned is there a a chance the ram and CPU and gpu will be okay?
Yes, there is a chance. If the short was the motherboard's fault, the GPU will most likely be okay. The CPU is probably hosed, however, no matter what because it is so sensitive and connected directly to the motherboard.. If the power supply failed and overloaded the motherboard, the whole computer is probably fried.
What are the basic components of computer or basic features of computer?
Motherboard, Power Supply, GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), CPU (Central Processing Unit), CD Drive, RAM (Random Access Memory), and a Computer Case along with Monitor!
Will overclocking my GPU hurt my computer?
If done incorrectly, overclocking can only damage the part that you tried to overclock (resulting in a burned-out chip which will almost always require replacement) or prevent the computer from starting up (not enough power to start up the computer).
What are thre examples of hardware?
Hardware is anything that makes up a computer Hard drives CPU (Central processing unit) GPU (Graphics processing unit) Keyboard dvd Ram (Random access memory) Psu (Power supply unit)
Asus 297 afull details and give me details of its GPU fans and processor?
My budget is about 400$
After about half an hour of me starting to play some games my pc randomly restarts This has happened since I got a new gpu Would this be beacause I don't have a big enough power supply for the card?
If your computer is randomly restarting when you are playing games, you may want to try cleaning out the cache and doing a defrag on the hard drive. Sometimes there is just to much junk lingering that is causing it to act up.
Will an agp ddr slot support anagp ddr3 or an agp ddr 2 video card?
Yes. The computer RAM, Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) RAM, and the motherboards DDR module are different. Just look into power supply, AGP voltage, x interface, and CPU for compatibility...
