AMD X2 4400 1MB l2cache x2 - resetting machine ???

[Hogs]

Hi there,
I got my chip tuesday and had no probs installing it - nice heatsink & fan idle 40 deg C will run all day - untill I run WoW - system crashes to black screen reboot - anyone have any ideas what prob may be? have checked ram - 2 x 512 3200 - put em in single and ran up - motherboard is ecs KN1 Extreme - with latest bios upgrade X2 duel core compat. Am scratching my head now why it crashes - Bios pages under CPU temp = 40 deg C so not chip overheating.

2 x 512 mb ram - winbond chips, geforce 7800gtx 256 meg vid, power supply 480 watt I think - with 2 rails for SLI - not using both cards yet till stable.
I can play Battlefield 2 online for a few hours and no bad effects - maybe it is a Direct X issue - but have trolled microsoft for any FAQ's no info atm

by the way - what programme will let me check heat in windows?

Thanks in advance.

ok system is now settled prime95 x 2 running 28 hours - cpu temp 40 idle 48/49 full load with BF2 COD2 running together is that about right temps?

WoW still reboots machine but i think that is something to do with a corrupt file ?? - everything else works fine - had machine running for a couple of days now no probs.


Thanks for replies guys.

tried everything - RMA chip back - waiting for test by OCUK techies. second core was reported as 3.5v ?? 1.4 on first. strange goings on in sound & video had to turn off sound and video acceleration and write caching to stop reboots. This chip was faulty imo. WOW - changed all UI's no addons still rebooted - then RMA.
