ok, i just finished installing my new processor and motherboard, heres the specs:
AMD Athlon XP 2600+ w/ 333 mhz FSB
GigaByte 7n400L motherboard w/ nforce2
512 MB DDR 333
GeForce MX 420
450 Watt PSU
ok, well my problem is that whenever i try to run a game like Counter-Strike for example, shortly after i connect, i get an error and it shuts down. sometimes IE will ocasionally create an error and shutdown. i just updated my bios to check the temperature readings as i have read that the original bios with nforce2 mobos tend to exagerate temperatures. now, when idle, my cpu is at 47C and the system is at 31C. Is this abnormally high or low for this config? i'm using the heatsink that came with the processor and i've applied AS3. I do have a small case with one case 1 on the back so maybe i have an airflow problem. any help would be much appreciated
