Remover the cover and watch the CPU fan. Mine would run for awhile and then
it would slow down and stop. When it stopped the computer would freeze up
and I would have to reboot.

Hi Paul,
This sounds like it could be a heat problem. Check and make sure the
heat-sink is secure on the CPU. If it is and you are still having the
problem, verify the correct voltage is being used on the CPU, and apply some
thermal grease between the heat-sink and the CPU.
It's possible that it is the power supply. Unfortunately, the only way to
easily verify this, aside from using a voltage meter, is to try another one.
Hope this helps!

> I'm building a new system and I'm having trouble with it. Every half-hour
or so it will lock up and I will have to turn it off at the power switch in
the back. Well if I go to turn it back on, it won't turn back on. I have to
leave it off for about fifteen minutes and then it will turn on. Me and my
brother think it is the power supply, but I don't want to send that back
wait two weeks and find out that isn't what is wrong. Please help!
