I have a Gigabyte GA-k8n-Sli Motherboard, 4gb of ram, AMD Athlon 64 proccesor, 9500gt nvidia PCI-e graphics card, 250w powersupply, a basic coolmaster fan with heatsink for the processor, plus 6 cooling fans for the tower itself. I've been having problems with random shut downs after booting this system up. It usually doesn't run longer than 10 minutes and thats if it's just sitting there or just checking my email. A friend said that he thinks the cpu is overheating cause if i let it sit for about and hour off it will run back up to it's maximum 10 minute time limit. I'm thinking it's the power supply that I have is way too small (it's all i have right now i didn't just buy a 250watt power supply haha). Any advice on why this computer is doing what it's doing would be great!
