dai, thanks for your quick response. What is the best way of checking the temperature? Would Everest be able to monitor this? Doesn't the computer have to have the functionality built in for this? I know on many computers you can see the operating temperature of the processor through the BIOS, but that won't help me with checking it under load. I suppose the 350 may still be too small for this computer, but i cannot imagine it is, since it is not a very new computer. I do not actually have the computer with me, it is at my friends house, I am going over in the morning to look at it again and try a couple other things. I will look into possibly getting a different power supply anyway, maybe 450w to be safe. Anyone else have any ideas? Thanks again dai for the advice...

Also, is there any software that I can use to basically 'burn in' the computer, like put alot of stress on it at once to see if it is going to crash? I ask because I prefer to not have to sit there and fiddle with it and run programs until it turns off.
