[quote="Bazooka_Joe":0ac9e][quote="Sgt Stryker":0ac9e][quote="Bazooka_Joe":0ac9e]Get a fan and run it on your case while its open. Play a game like MOH or BF1942 or something, see if it crashes. If not, more than likely its a heat issue.[/quote:0ac9e]

wouldn't it just freeze up and do jack shit until you push the button if it's overheating?

I had a couple of those at work, the fans were gunked up with about 4 years of dust oOo:[/quote:0ac9e]

Not nesscessarly. Alot of motherboards newer than about 2 years, can detect too much heat from the processor, or any other on-board peice, and will automatically shutdown if they are too hot.

I'd check your CPU cooling fan, Buck.[/quote:0ac9e]

ah, I just never had a (relatively) new computer overheat, just the crap lab computers biggrin:

probably is an overheat then
