Ok, i have an ASUS K8N running AMD64 3200+, 1GIG DDR400 on xp-pro, 400psu. (cpu running at 48 deg)
I switch the pc on and it may boot up then after playing a game or surfing the net or not running any programs at all, the system will just switch off!
Now on trying to reboot i get nothing, the pc powers-up but will not boot unless i move the memory stick to another dimm socket weeerrd! now the system will boot but before long it will do the same again, then i move the memory to another dimm socket and it does the same again and once all three dimm sockets have been used it wont boot at all for a good few hours.
I have tested the memory and even used two other new memory sticks but the problem is still there. I have run post diagnostics on memory and main board but everything passed, i am beginning to think PSU voltage problem or CPU faulty.
any help would be great
Thanks
BK
