Could that be the PS? Or will the new heatsink cool my cpu better, creating better stability? My cpu is now running at 47-48 C idle.
Download motherboard monitor, and check your voltage readings. If they are all over the place, then I would agree that you need a new supply. However, I think you have heat issues, and I would not risk any type of overclocking until you can resolve them.

Ok, I moved one of my case fans in a new position, my cpu is running at 45 C idle, and the mobo is about 27 C idle. I ran a high usage program, and it didn't reboot, or give me errors. I downloaded mbm5, but im still trying to figure out how to use it :(
Looks like my problem may be solved...im just waiting for that new heatsink now! :)

The voltage settings in MBM should already be set. Go the the settings page, and click on high/low. All your voltage settings should be there.

Well, the new heatsink arrived today. Major problem though...the clamps on the heatsink touch capacitors on the motherboard, which im assuming is not good. So for now I have to use the retail heatsink, perhaps I may have to modify it.
