Then if i knew how to use linux then i would be a happy man right now but seeing as i dont i am not all that happy with my new setup.. it is really getting me to the point of throwing it out the window. But ofcourse there is a solution to every problem and now i just gota sit back and wait for one...

The fan i have on it is a Clobal Win Fan Specially designed for AMD CPUs. It has a 60x58x40mm high density heatsink atttached to it. I thought overheating might do it but im not sure cause when it hang i touch the heatsink and its not even that warm? Its all placed correctly aswell.

I had a customer call a while back with a computer that would play a damned tune through the speaker.

Finally figured out it was a built in over temp warning on an older Asus motherboard. Eventually noticed the CPU fan was gradually slowing down. It didn't make any unusual noises, groaning, etc, just gradually slowed down, the CPU warmed up, and it was music time !!
