The Presscott's run hot anyway. 40c is probably about normal for that chip. What's the amperage on the +12 line on that PSU?

Run through a pass with QUESTIONS 101 and if you can find out what BIOS it is (Phoenix, Award, AMI) please post it here and we can get what the beep codes me.

You don't need ctfmon or jusched to run (granted they will re-assert themselves anyway I think). Apart from that your computer looks as if it's running top notch. As for the unstable part what are the specs on your PSU? And is that P4 a presscott by the way?

Make sure you connected the front panel connectors right (power switch and what not). Also be sure you plugged in all the power cables (mainly the ATX12 one).

QUESTIONS 101 Could be any number of things. Run through once with Memtest86 just to be safe and also you may want to think about doing a repair install of windows.

QUESTIONS 101 Did you try resetting the BIOS yet?

Save yourself the money and get rid off all the lights and "bling-bling" crap. It doesn't help performance and it usually looks gaudy and not all that nice. In fact I'd say unless you NEEEEED the parts don't buy any of them at all. You can save your money and do an upgrade on the machine (video...

Yes, if you made major upgrades (which it sounds like you did) you will need to re-install windows.

SiSoftwareSandra had a burn-in test I know (I haven't used it in a long time so I don't know what it does much of anymore).

I get 100,000,000 in 3Dmark03. Needless to say none of the 3dmarks matter for the performance or to show how nice your machine is. Does it play all your games smoothly without any hicups at settings you find comfortable? If the answer is yes then just un-install 3dMark and frag on. Even if the...

If it runs the benchmark on the spot then it could be because of programs running the background.

Chances are it will work with the machine if that's what they gave you. However you may want to consider upgrading it at a later time if you notice any stablitiy issues (freezing, random restarts). Be warned though, doing that usually voids the warrenty.

QUESTIONS 101 You could also have a corrupted windows file. However if you were playing around with cabling chances are you plugged something in wrong (unplug the floppy [if you have one] and see if it boots). If so you just had it plugged in the wrong way.

QUESTIONS 101 Need more specs than that.

QUESTIONS 101 You reset the BIOS yet (always first thing to do)?

I'd have to agree with the CPU being the main component holding you back.

Section 7 - Step by Step This section is meant as a rough idea of exactly how to put together a computer piece by piece. To start you're going to want to leave anywhere from 3 hours to 6 hours for construction time just in case you run into anything un-expected or any major porblems with the...
