The root of the problem turned out to be the RAM-memory wich I had to change for an other.
After changing the memory everything worked fine.
If you have two computers, try taking the RAM from the second computer to the one wich has the problem and see if it still occours.
I certainly hope it's not the RAM, it's
brand new and cost me about $400. I cannot test other RAM as the only other type i have is DDR and my PC needs DDR2.
Maybe your fan is dusty. The samething happend to my brother because of a dusty fan, and he also has a dual core.
I've only had the case for about 2 weeks now, there's no chance they're dusty.
What kind of thermal interface material are you using between the CPU and the heatsink? Is it a pad that was stuck on, or the usual tube-goo compound?
A pad that was already on the heatsink.
I'm very annoyed that my PC worked perfectly fine one day, and after no change seems to be on death's door. I don't see anything that could of happened, and i definately can't see how it can be overheating in just mere seconds. Something else
i'm guessing the power is probably playing up.
As it is now, when i boot it up, everything begins to start up, the fans start spinning, the led's come on.. then boom. It's off, it restarts.. boom it's off again, and so on.
