hi i have a asock N68C-S UCC it come with a 1.8 ghz cpu which every thing ran fine but i decided to put a 6 core processor in its the rigt processor acording to asrock it part number HDT55TWFK6DGR but with this cpu in every now and again when computer is busy it switches itself off the temp is 49 degreese so i sent the cpu back as faulty and got a refund as they did not have any more in stock and i then brought one from overclockers but this problem still exists only when using the six core processor any advise would be very appriciated by the way im using 4gb memory its not the correct memory that should be in it its got corsair tw3x4g1333c9a but according to manufacture it should be CM3X2048-1333C9DHX weather this could be the problem or not i am not sure but why would it only do it with a 6 core processor by the way i did put the original processor in for 2 weeks and it was fine untill i put the new processor back in i have also upgraded the fan aswell but it still stays at 49 degreese
 
ok so i got a new 650w psu but it still shuts down it mainly shuts down when my partner tries to play bejeweled blits on facebook it can shut off 3-4 times a day when doing that but it may only shut down once in a while when im doing something else
 
well unfortuanatly im in no position to fork out hundreds of pounds for a system im in the middle of building a computer for my dad i shall see what psu is in that but i think thats a cheap one to and he has had no problems using them
 
well the original psu i had was in my computer for 5 yrs i upgraded the motherboard then a month later when i had money i brought a new 6 core processor now i just brought a 650w psu im just wondering if the motherboard could be faulty if my computer keeps turning off
 
well weather its a £1 psu or £1000 its still kicking out the same watts im going to try taking memory out to rule that out and if its not that then there must be static on the motherboard i know its not the cpu i have upgraded the psu (obviously not a expensive one but it kicks the same power out ) i will also try disconecting dvd rw to rule that out but i think it could be the motherboard which only costs £30
 
well i have taken out the memory and replaced them with different one and have also unplugged the dvd drive but it still does switch off it is the 95w cpu and it does mainly do it when playing bejeweled which does not take up much power i use my dvd drive all day but it does not switch itself off even though the dvd drive and the cpu are constantly working it would do in very rarly but it does it all the time when playing bejeweled so i do not think its the psu the graphics is built on to the motherboard its got 4 gb ram so i do think its the motherboard at fault
