Ok ppl once again i have problems with my PC 
I had previously began a thread with regards to an overheating PC with i have solved thanks to purchasing a new bigger heatsink.
But now i try to run my System Boot Disk and i go through the paces, all the way through to the section which i select 1 C:\Windows (i think) which brings up the C: prompt
And then after a short while its shuts down
BTW if anyone can tell me which command to type after C:\ it would also help
These are the specs of my PC
Mobo: SAPPHIRE PC-A9RD480Adv 939 ATI CrossFire (please don't tell me its S**t mobo)
CPU: AMD 4200 Socket 939
Memory: 2GB DDR SDRAM
Power Supply: 750W

  :-[ok scrap the CD issue just realised its my CPU
Despite buying a new bigger heatsink its still overheatingYea i'm sorry i'm back
Still with the issue of overheating. I'm running my Windows XP installation disk and everything runs smoothly when well into its installation it shuts down.
Now, i have replaced my PC with a new PSU and it still happens and yes everything is clean and i have fans running nicely in my PC, CPU, GFX card, system ETC. etc.
BTW the PSU is 500w but i dont really think thats an issue .
I can regulate the voltage to chipset and RAM via the BIOS but i am not sure whether to mess with those settings, dont want to end with a FRIED mobo Quote from: patio on May 17, 2009, 04:37:22 PM
