hi, these are my system specs:

p3 500mhz
64mb Radeon 7500
512kb Cache
192mb SDRam

for some reason lately, after i installed my 64mb radeon 7500 my system keeps rebooting randomly, sometimes after 5 mins, sometimes after 5 hours.. i herad that it is because of overheating problems, and this has also happened to other ati card users.. so i try to go to my CMOS and check out some settings, however, when i press 'delete' to enter the CMOS setup screen my screen goes black, and stops responding; i have to reboot. it gets pretty annoying after restarting 9 times a day. :angry2: i am just wondering if anyone can tell me how i can get into my BIOS, get my comp more ventilation holes, and how to check my comps temperature. thnx.

Bad power ...bad power ...bad power...did I mention check you power supply...if it good get a bigger one anyway...bad power cures alot of vodoo issues...

With that said the sell extra case fans and PCI fan that add to the cooling of a system...check ChumpUSA....

there is programs out there do monitor the heat-- a search for system monitors...problem is you need something on the MoBo...I belive ...to gauge the temp...I might be wrong so dont take that as final word... think one of the program out there is called coolinfo....but I will pass that ot someone else to recommend a good one!!
