ok so this friday i got myself new parts: asus m2n32- sli deluxe, amd 5200 x2 cpu/w heatsink and fan, 1gb ddr2 800 azen ram, and evga 8500gt video card with its own fan but it has no heatsink the fan is mounted on the card itself.

i am told this is done like that by the manufacturer.

i put it all into my older case with 400w psu and 2 side fans already on it.

now my problem is if i play any game that is even somewhat demanding after about an hour or so it gives me a blue screen with some error messages that i dont have time to read and reboots the computer.

i have monitored my temps and it tells me that my cpu is at 52-57C, which is 126-135F. my mobo is around 47-52C, 117-126F, and my gpu (which im guessing is my vid card?) is around 62-65C, 144-149F.

now im lost, i dont know what could be the cause of this. i have win xp home edition. i downloaded the dvidia control center, which tells me it wants to fine tune all the components and i tried letting it do that but it freezes up in the very end and doesnt get shit done.

i think my problem is it is overheating or i have bad ram. but if i can play for an hour straight and not have a problem im leaning towards the overheating part.

any help or suggestions are appriciated
