Recently i got someone to get me a new motherboard because my old one died, and when i got it back it was crashing (just restarting) everyone 30mins, after it had restarted a few times, it would refuse to let windows run (just restarting after its done a POST) i would leave it for 10-15mins and it would work fine untill it crashed again.
Sounds like a heat problem right? Iv added two fans now, an my temps idle on 37(system), 40(CPU) and 97(CPU Kernel{which im not sure what it is}).
But it still crashed like the same, just restarts.
I took the case side off of and started it up and it ran for 8 hours without crashing then i turned it off myself, put the case back on, 30mins later it goes. .
I know the CPU and SYS temps are fine, im not sure about CPU KERNEL temps at 87 though .
Anyway anyone got any ideas? I dont want to add any more fans if possible but i will if need be, but i have a CPU cooler that works, i fan right next to the CPU and one near the graphics card.
Wierd isnt it.....
EDIT: My specs are:
AMD DURON 1.66 XP Not Overclocked.
512mb DDR RAM
Geforce 4 MMX 440 128mb
20gb + 15gb HARD DRIVE
400Watt BRAND NEW power supply.
2 BLUE LCD FANS
SECOND EDIT:
And the fans are blowing out cool air at the back, and the PSU blows out not hot air but warm.
