Howdy, first time computer builder here. I pieced together my computer no problems, worked on first boot. Installed windows updated all drivers and everything seemed fine.
The problem is that when I run nearly any appliaction, even a PC health status program the system will shutdown periodocily. I havent been able to run a program any longer then 20 mins before it shuts down. In order to get it going again I eaither have to reset or kill the power. All the LED's stay on when it shuts down so Im pretty sure its not the power source. The CPU runs at 39-45 degress so im fairly certian that isnt the issue. Only thing I can think of is maybe windows didnt install properly? I would appraciate any help or idea's!!!
Specs:
Mobo: MSI K8T NEO2-F 939 socket
CPU: AMD Athlon +3000 512 L2 cache
DISK: SAMSUNG 80GB 133 ATA
RAM: 2GB GeLI DDR400
VIDEO: ATI RADEON 9600 XT 128MB
