David Gordon, What tempertaure is your CPU running at?? try bringing the temp down by putting an additional fan in the case and maybe a larger fan on the cpu, The more it has to process the hotter it gets. The hotter it gets causes instability, and slowness, Is your mother board okay, what brand is it and have you updated drivers as well as flashing the latest rom to it Regards Daniel Skilleter _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp The NOSPIN Group Promotions is now offering Mandrake Linux or Red Hat Linux CD sets along with our NOSPIN Power Linux CD... at a great price!!! http://freepctech.com/goodies/promotions.shtml
