i'm pretty sure it's not the Power...400 is plenty.

ok i did that memtest86...i did tests 1-8 and everything is fine. so i'm hoping it's just the HSF.

Installed the new HSF...lowered the temp to 45C....but it still reboots randomly....should i replace the memory?

okay.. i had this problem with an ATI video card... did you just recently upgrade your driver? try remove all the video driver and clean install the driver.

my friend has a similar problem and it turned out that there was some dust collected in the memory slot.. he cleaned out his system and it's fine.

nope haven't just upgraded my driver...though I do have an ATI card though. I think i'm gonna go for the ram solution...and soon thereafter i might change m/b's. /=P
