I just finished building my new PC 2 days ago.
AMD Athlon XP 2600+
Abit K7 400 333FSB
512 DDR PC2700 333mhz
Creative Geforce 3 Ti 200 -- ( needs future upgrade )
Creative SB Live
Seagate Baracuda 60GB 7200 RPM HD
Windows XP SP1
Pretty new to building machines. This machine sometimes hangs on boot and needs to be power cycled to restart it. Often when I try to open an application, it simply does nothing and gives no error messages. CPU Core temp is 43 degrees while idle. Is this too hot?
I've heard that you need to leave a newly built PC turned on for a few days to run the processor in. Questions is: should you just leave the PC turned on or put it doing some repeditive heavy processing?
Or did anybody expierence simular problems? advice welcome...
Thanx in advance
