how long does it last b4 it resets?

it could be the PSU, what psu do you have ?

[Viz0r]

What do you mean resets? as in shutsdown as normal? or just suddenly switches off? did you put thermal paste on the cpu?

thermal paste is for wimps

lol wedge.
and ginger. leave ya pc on for a while and then reboot it and check in the bios.
failing that you might have some funky software that came with you motherboard which will enable you to monitor it.
or if your running a nvidia chipset you could down load there hardware monitor program.
loads of ways to find out how hot it is

Cowboy what do u mean by the hitachi? So frets rig with the said changes is the best way to go? Dual core all the way. Thanks guys I new you wouldn't fail me

The hitachi HDD get the 160 or the 250 gig sata 2 model as they run better than the 80 gig 1.And ginger your motherboard should have temp readout software most do it also tells u what the fan speed is on the cpu and the chipsets if they have fans.My dfi board software had something called smartguardian dont know if its dfi only software or if u can download it for your motherboard

[Viz0r]

Ginger you big twat, when you say it resets it's a bit vague, does it just turn off, as in screen goes black, or does it shutdown normally? with a windows shutting down screen?
