    Just a lil' humor, Anyhow, Problem is that my CPU temps are upto 65C and are just staying there. I havent overclocked my Athlon XP 1600+. I have a 7200RPM fan and a globalwin heatsink. Is this normal? My motherboard is the MSI K7GN2-L (nforce2) thanks!

    System crash at BIOS

    Yeah i checked to make sure that the Heatsink fits fine. The powersupply is rated at 300Watts. Doesnt seem like an issue there. DO you think that the CPU could be damanged?
