Angry is my processor knackered or do i have a cooling fan issue

hey there ,

in december of last year i built a pc for my fiancee's brother. i bought a mother board bundle from my local maplin, and it was already part built.... eg the processor had already been mounted and the memory installed.

i put the thing together and tried it out and the thing ran as you would expect a new pc to run.

heres where the trouble started 3 months down the line the graphics card packed in, then the machine would reet itself constantly when you ran any kind of opperation even from something like playing a cd.

so after seeing several "computer experts" i find my self shelling out 300 smackers for all brand new parts. i bought new memory, harddrive, mother board, and all the cables to go with it.

i put the macvhine back together and it still resets itself whne it wants to but only when saving a game....

this thing is costing me a fortune to find out what is going on please can someone help me ?

thanks alot for any help

stuart

As you've replaced everything else and the symptoms you've described I'd put my money on one of two things
  • Knackered PSU
  • Overheating

Can you run speedfan and upload a screenshot of that after you've been using it a bit mate as this would help determine which one it is.
