Hey dudes, my first thread :)
I recently got a new pc with a P4M800P7MA(Foxconn) Pentium 4 3.66 Ghz - 1Gb ddr2 ram - Radeon 9550 (256mb memory) I have a fan in the front of the pc blowing air, 1 in the back blowing air (to cool down video card), 1 on the top of pc sucking the air inside the pc, and also the standard fan and heatsync that came with the motherboard.
I have had no technincal issues with my computer at all except for the fact that is gets REALLY hot! at first i thought it was a normal thing with the system and CPU running at 50c+ until it finally overheated and the power box and motherboard completely died.
after getting a new motherboard and powerbox with the warrenty i was under i got really freakd about my pc overheating so i moved the pc into the living room near the air con.
things seemed to be going fine although the pc overheated atleast 5 times but sdtill managed to work again LOL :P

now computer runs really cool no heat is radiating from the pc at all, althought within 5 minutes of gameplay with games such as oblivon, quake 4 and doom 3 the comp just shuts down.

lol sorry for a loooooong story but im really confused as to what is going on, and i dont have the money buy any other computer
