Don't think I'm advanced enough to require one of those processors/GPUs. I'll just stick to the popular mainstream amd/intel/ati/nVidia chips available. Much easier to get tech support for.

When will you ever REQUIRE a VIA (Except for heat and power reasons) ? The 1.5GHz Eden is probably slower than a Pentium III 700MHz. (The only special instruction set it has is MMX I think)

Eddie's Overheating Pblm.

Hey Eddie, did you mention what type of PSU you are running. Sometimes they have that feature to shut down before they go down. Is your CPU set (in the BIOS) to shutdown at a certain temp? Is your CPU fan secure onto the board?

Hey Eddie, did you mention what type of PSU you are running. Sometimes they have a shut down before they go down. Is your CPU set (in the BIOS) to shutdown at a certain temp? Is your CPU fan secure onto the board? Have you added any new hardware? Is your heatsink (CPU) full of lint and dust? Did this just start? See if you can borrow a better PSU (more watts and amps on the 12 V rail) and try that. You may need a new one.

Sometimes your cpu fan gets loose, be sure that's secure. Plugging into the wall or a strong dedicated power source (plug strip) is a must. Running an A/C in the same circuit is bad. Sounds like it's working now. That's good.
