When i play CS CZ my whole PC freeze(cant crt alt dlt) or anything. i just restart it and everything works fine with me, for me its ussaly at least 1 hour and a half in i think for me its over heating. Expessallly since i added the new fan it dosn;t do it as much.

Yeah your computer is just over heating. Is it clean inside from dust or if you have cables everywhere bundle them up so that air can get around them easier.

What are the system specs?

I would suggest swapping out everything you can if you have spare parts, changing around the memory to different slots (one stick at a time). The red light you mentioned is usually just a sign that either the 5V standby or 12V is there (for my mobo the 5V is green and the 12V is red). That being said, I had a bad mobo that did the same thing as yours is doing... and I currently have another bad mobo that just does nothing... I've gone through a lot of bad motherboards

ok this weird thing happens, after reseating everything I powered it up, nothing happened. 5 min later i powered it up again, something burns but i don't know which, i can smell it. then i turned it on again even I know my comp is dead for sure, but this time the rear fan (connected to the board), video card fan, cd rom runs but the cpu fan did not run, nothing on screen. So from your point of view, which one is dead CPU or Mobo ??
