I recently had this insatiable urge to get back into online gaming, and upon turning on my great big rig from 2007 learned it might be a little dated.... here is what I am working with:
Power Supply- Coolmax CXI-500B (500w)
Motherboard - MSI K9N4 SLI
CPU- AMD Athlon 3.4GHZ Dual Core
Ram - 4 x 512Mb Crucial Blistix DDR2
Video Card - geforce 9800 gtx+
When I try to boot up FH2 the screen goes black and than the entire computer shuts off. The power supply has a breaker in it, and every time it does this hard shut off I have to pop the breaker again to get the computer to turn on. Now I haven't worked on my computer or upgraded it since about 2008... Sooo, I am a little dated on system requirements for games, and what the new hot things are... So am I able to salvage this thing and upgrade it or do I need to build a new one?
