Hi, my name is Mike Myatt and I have a problem with my computer It has an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+, at 2.2GHz, Socket AM2 wich is just turning off with no warning. I think this is because the CPU is overheating. Can I correct this by changing the heatsink ? Now it looks the heatsink is properly attached.
Thanks in advance!

are you using the stock heatsink?
have you tried running the pc with the sidepanel removed? (does it still overheat then?
and, have you tried reseating the heatsink? (you would need new thermal paste then tough, and clean off the old)
