ok i am just wondering if you know the problem with this,in my computer i just put in the A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard, a Nvidea 7950 GX2 1gb graphicscard, then i gave it a new case, and installed xp, i put in some new akasa thermal compound on the CPU, everything was great and running fine, and then i installed the asus pc probe which tells you all *** Tempretures, the cpu was 32 and the motherboard was 29 i didnt think much of it, then i installed test drive unlimited and played top specs perfect, but then all of a sudden the computer shut down, so i started it up again, then within 4 or 5 mins it shut down again, so i thought this is odd, so i checked inside the computer and everything was fine, so i started it up again and went into bios and looked at *** cpu temerature and it was at 52! i NO SWEARING myself, so i shut it down asap, then after about a hour i started it up again, worked ok, but then i opened pc probe and it was going up and down from 40-50 degrees the motherboard and cpu temerature, but as soon as i put a game on, the CPU went to 60 and the motherboard was at 50, and after about 5 mins it shuts down (obviously the motherboard or cpu protecting itself from *** heat) i have 2 case fans the heatsink fan on *** cpu which is running at full 3169 allso the heat pipe fan and a extra case fan, but nothing changes, theres no jerks no nothing to tell that its gonna shut down but its definatly bcus of the heat, ive been told a couple of things like it could be one of the sticks of ram could be broke so i tried this MEMTEST and about 15% done and the Temp jumped to 66! the highest its ever been and shut down, so its as far as i have read it could be them but also ive heard it could be the cpu fan, but its sitting fine and running full speeed, but a question i would like to ask is if its the RAM broke why does *** cpu overheat ? (i have 2 ddr400 514mb sticks) so all in all its overheating but the thing is i want to know is whats making it overheat, (i was thinking about watercooling it but since ive been reading i dont know if that will help ?) so question is giving you all the infromation ive gave you what is more than likely the problem ? allso is it true that *** RAM could be the problem of this ?

would be amazingly greatful for all yoru help cheeers my email is [email protected]
 
It does matter, yes.... but paragraphs also help to....

Sounds to me like either the cooler is not mounted correctly or you forgot to the plug the connector the cooler into the board, but then if that were the case it likely wouldnt allow you to get that far.

How much compound did you apply, what cooler is it, and did you have problems fitting it?
 
sorry, i put 1.5g of thermal comound the most that was in *** ickle tube,, its the standard AMD stiock one, and there was no problems fitting it, thanks
 
Please don't double post, it just makes things confusing. A spot of grammar would make your post much easier on the eye too, I can't bring myself to read it as it is.
