Ok, I got all my parts in yesterday to upgrade my system they are as followed:
Asus A7V133 motherboard
Amd 1.33gighz Axia processor
Thermaltake Volcano 2 heatsink/fan
300 watt sparkle power supply
The super slot cooler (dual bearing)
These componets i already had:
20 gig ata/100 hard drive
256mb 133mhz
Geforce 2 gts
56k
10/100 ethernet card
16x pioneer dvd
3.5" floppy
Ok, first thanks to anyone who had read this far down! The problem is, when I start my computer up it will kick off and the power led will blink on and off, and I'm not able to start it back up (the fans will kick on, but nothing on the monitor). It does not post either. So after letting it be off for about 15 mins it will kick back on. So I went into bios and seen that the vcore/cpucore was set at 1.5v.....so...I changed that to 1.75v and now its been running for a hour (the longest yet) without kicking off. Before I did this the cpu temp was around 141F + at times, and now its stable at 132F. I order some more cooling stuff last night from thecardcooler.com so it'll be here around friday, which is the card cooler xt, a harddrive cooler, another super slot cooler and so on. I'm not sure if i fixed the problem or not, but any suggestions will be very helpful. BTW I do not plan on overclocking this computer at all. I also used cheap ass thermal paste, so i ordered some Arctic Silver II thermal paste to replace the cheap stuff with.
Thanks

One other thing...I installed MBM-5 and it reports my cpu temp 118F - 122F is this a more accurate temp then what PC Probe says which is around 132F - 138F?
Update I'm still running since I updated the vcore settings, I haven't had a problems since, and its maintaining 116F. The HSF is installed correctly also. Should I go ahead and replace this generic thermal paste, with artic thermal paste 2? If so I need to order some today, I've still got the xtreme system cooling package coming my way from cardcooler
