Zotac 9300 ITX randomly switches off?

Hi guys

I've just built my first ITX setup. Sugo SG05, Zotac 9300 board, Core 2 Duo 7500. 4Gb RAM. All running at stock speeds.

I'm trying to run memtest86+ but it keeps turning off at random intervals. Any ideas whats going on?

Temps are around 41oc in the BIOS, voltages are core speeds are stock, but for some reason I cannot choose 1.8v for the memory voltage even though thats DDR2 default speeds.

What gives :confused:

Oh, that could be it, my MCP temp is over 80 degrees! I'm using the intel heatsink though so it does clear the mcp's heatsink ok. I'll try reseating it tonight.

Is there a way of updating the BIOS from DOS? I can't install Windows yet as I'm waiting for a sata cable adapter so I can plugin my slimline dvd-rw

Cheers mate, I'll do all that tonight. I'm determined to get this working correctly.

I don't suppose anyone knows why I can't select 1.8v for my DDR2 RAM? For some reason 1.9v is the lowest selection even those thats overspec. Is this fixed with a recent BIOS.

Thanks betaspin. I reseated the heatsinks, reapplied fresh paste and now the temps don't go over 50 degrees
