This sounds like an overheating situation. First check that the CPU and 
heat sink are firmly attached and that you used thermal paste between 
the two. Then check that the CPU , the video card, and all other fans 
are operating.

I hope this helps.

I have built Intel machines before, this is my first AMD.  Here are the specs:  Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe Motherboard, AMD Athlon 64 x 2 5600 processor, 4 gig CORSAIR XMS2 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400, 2 500 gig Samsung HHD raid, Leadtec 8800 640 mb video card, and a 630 watt power supply.  Any idea where to start looking?  I took it apart twice and rebuilt with no luck.  Thanks!
