Thanks for the quick info.

This Power Source was a NuPower RX-380K Power Source priced at $30 with a $7 rebate; its from Fry'. I'm going to try out a 500W Power Source to see it that solves the problem.

Also, I just put in the Video Card and the extra RAM about a month ago and was just trying to make sure everything on SH3 works OK before I went to 1.4b since I really don't want to lose the career I have especially if I can't solve the problems at the end of the day.

I really don't know that much about computers and this is a Year 2004 HP a720n. I've already paid $160 for the additional RAM, new Video Card and Power Source. I was able to open the computer and put it all in because in reality it is fairly simple. I guess I will get the updagrades up to $200 with the RAM, Video Card & a better power source. I'm trying to justify the cost other than saying that I can run better versions of SH3.

I will say that my computer is a lot faster and hopefully this will stop me from having to buy a new computer foe at least 2 more years of not longer.

Other than playing this game and going on the internet, I really don't do much else on this computer. I have small kids, the oldest is 8, so they are doing anything high-end, at least not for a few more years.
I guess in the end, $200 is not bad.

Thanks for getting back to me so quick, I try to add the minimum 500W Power Source tomorrow and see how it goes.

Don't tell my wife how much I've spent, especially with Mother's Day right arounf the corner.
