Re: Random Comp Shutdown
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-core Processor
no clue its onboard
Asus 690G Socket AM2 1,000MHz DDR2-800 M-ATX
ATX power supply
450W

Temps~
CPU temp- 21C (69.8F)
MB Temp- 23C (73.4F)

Voltages~
Vcore Volt- 1.26V
3.3 Voltage- 3.31V
5V- 5.05V
12V-12.16V

closest thing to an error message is when i first boot it says "*****WARNING: system BOOT fail*****
your system maybe overclock fail or post interupted."

Re: Random Comp Shutdown
you have a pcie m/b so you need to upgrade your psu
to what depends on if you intend installing a video card and which one
for now you need something like this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...corsair%2b550w
for future video upgrade you need to go to the 650w or the 750w version depending on the card you choose
