My computer has been restarting out of no where, Im not sure what the problem is. I know it cant be a heat issue, I keep it pretty cool. I did keep it running all night watching stuff on winamp, and transfering 17gigs at full speed. Mabey thats the problem. :blink:

Dammit the fucking thing did it again. I reformated it, it was doing fine. I was playing GTA:SA for like 30min and then it did it again.

not really, i am starting to think it is a heat issue. Dunno how to check me vga's temp.
NB-overheat, perhaps, if you transfered that much data.
Let it rest for a couple of hours and then try it again.

Well its been a couple of days, so its not that anymore. Does it only when i play a game. So i think its that. I dunno, I turned it off, and felt it, and it was pretty hot. I dont know what to do :-/

If it does while playing a game could just be a driver issue you did say you reformated ?
But I'm just grasping at straws ,check the temps then post back .

Could be the drive, i did you the same one i used before i reformated.
I don't know how to check the temps.
I Used BurnItTest to test my system, and nothing. Ran it for 10min and no problem.

PSU that's my theory. OP what brand is your PSU?
That's 48C at idle. Set speed fan to record charts, then run your game (or something else which stresses the cpu) for about 5 mins, then check the temps on the chart to see what happened.

At this point I don't know what is causing your problem (temps are high, but not fatal and your voltages look OK), but ten minutes of a Burnin test really proves very little.
Download Prime95 (http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm) AND Aquamark3 (http://www.aquamark3.com/) .
Run them both together while logging with Speedfan...that should tell you something.
...enjoy the pretty blue screens....

And the black screen at reboot , I hated the aquamark program ! :lol:
One of my systems has been acting up over the last couple of days, all down to the weather. It wouldn't stay running at full load for more than a few mins.
This morning I whipped off the fan (leaving the heatsink in place), cleaned it and between the fins on the heatsink, and remounted the fan. 5 mins work and everything is ok again.
But just to point out, the indicated temps were slightly lower than yours.
