HI everyone im getting sick of my annoying shutdown problem link here>(strange problem)

So im thinking about going ahead and rebuilding with another new mobo and a better psu. Im looking for suggestions on the mobo. Heres a list of existing hardware that will be used socket lga 775 celerond 3.33ghz cpu 1gb crucial ddr2 memory 80gb wd sata hdd 320gb wd ide hdd sony dvd-rw drive ati radeon x1300pro pci-e video card will be using a 500w psu and a matx case

I use this pc primarily for vids and music some games mostly older at the moment (nfsmw , prince of persia the two thrones) am planning on trying out crysis just curious if my rig can run it (if anyone sees anyhing above to stop above to stop me im open to suggestions )

I do plan on upgrades to atleast a dual core cpu and very soon will be uping to between 3 and 4gb ram im on a low budget so can do it all right away mainly focused on the board at the moment

So not heavily into gaming, hey?

I would very definitely say, check out the Intel Guardfish mobo, I had it a while ago it was very solid and stable, has 10 USB's I think 8 SATA's really good for everything, no overclocking ability. Safer that way, i guess.

Allrounder, at good price.
