I can understand the heat problem. What I can't understand is that the
machine had just booted and the machine switched off. The case was not
covered at the time as I was swapping HDD's between one PC and another and
trying out different things settings and basically making things a little
sweeter.

Will this have an effect on the heat and will it cause the PC to switch off
after only booting?

Mmmm ..... Thanks .... At this point I'd rather take the machine in. I'm
comfortable with most work inside a PC, but this is one area I'm not
comfortable with.

I'm running a P466 Celeron as standard (ie. not overclocked). Not sure what
its called, but the mobo is an ASUS that had the old Slot A I think it was
called. The Celerons at that stage used the socket, so the actual CPU sits
on a daughter card (converter). I've never had an overheating problem before
and it being almost Winter here in the Southern Hemisphere, there isn't any
environmental heat.
