    PSU Problem?

    My PC is old built it back in 08, the only thing I changed was the video card. I only have a 300 watt PSU in my other HP PC which doesn't have 8pin for the motherboard it only has the 4pin. I'll try it, hopefully it will power it up since I only have 1 module of Ram and CPU/HSF.

    in need of new heatsink

    You can't go wrong with a Noctua CPU cooler. I personally use it on my OC'd e8400 which hits 4.2ghz on 1.312v and temps are very low.

    Very hot CPU, no air flow? Please help!

    Do some cable management like FuryRosewood pointed out. Did you apply the thermal paste evenly. Check your bios and see if your CPU cooler is running at the same speed it's suppose to. If all fails just get a Noctua CPU Cooler and watch your temps plummet.
