Problem in my PC

get memtest86.. http://www.memtest86.com

That\'ll test your memory without windows, its a true test for memory.

If it passes ALL passes fine, it\'s not your memory. If you get errors then i\'d say your new mem is screwed. You can try moving your memory around and testing it in different dimms (the memory slots)

Make sure your PSU does support it\'s rated wattage. I\'ve seen a lot of psu units not support what they say they support. Each rail only can carry so much wattage.

This may help in choosing a new psu unit.

As for what wattage rating you really want. Out of my own experience. 400watt is the minimum to run a p4 or Xp system imo. You\'re pretty much guaranteed stability with a psu 400watt or higher.
If you want to know what your system is drawing of the psu. Volts x Amps = Watts..

Souly I\'ve downloaded and run the memtest86 (ver 3.0) and everything is alright with respect the ram.

Yup, I\'ve 400w psu.

But Emperor, that hasn\'t much sense. If there is a wire keeping the fan from turning... your processor would have been burnt out as soon as your fan would have stopped... not only in generals you know.

Mine didn\'t.  Just rebooted when it got above 65 Celsius.  And this is an AMD T-bird.  I verified this by immediately going into the BIOS on reboot and the temp had sky-rocketed.  It didn\'t cause any damage though.

I had this problem with my laptop after partitioning for a XP/Linux box.  I uninstalled linux and still had the problem, I reflashed my bios and problem solved.  Could give that a try.

reflash the bios? what\'s it? Perhaps i know it by another name in spanish...

(BTW, 4 days without switching off )

BIOS basic input/output system

to Flash your bios is simply to update it. BUT if it fails kiss your mobo goodbye. Unless it has dual bios..

Uhhh.... I\'m better putting that apart... I don\'t want to buy another

Problem solved: it was the dual channel in the ram. A friend told me that nforce have many problems with it and I simply installed the two slots in 3 and 2 so the dual is now desactivated and the problem is off.
