Cool


Okay, can do. Will take out 2gig ram, leaving the others in. Will look at SLI as well, and maybe run one GPU for the meantime and see if it helps.

Also from reading about similar problems with others pcs, it seems like it could be a CPU overheating problem. Will have to clean it up, re-apply thermal paste, and reseat the heatsink again.

Thinking of getting a better heatsink+fan. The one im using now is stock.

Update: Tried to do a stress test for PC (using Everest Ultimate), all components checked out, when it started on the CPU, the system shut down. So as of right now CPU overheating is the main suspect as far as i can tell..

New update: I might have found the culprit. It's most def. got to do with CPU overheating. Ran SpeedFan, and looked into Bios system monitor as well, and temps are off the chart. Will have to re-apply thermal paste, and reseat the heatsink. Will do that tomorrow (inshaAllah), and then report back.
