Oh NO... BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!!!

[wtp]

ok... well, do u think it's my CPU that is causing it, my V3 really gets hot, and my alpha was too big (couldn't fit V3 in), so i had to use some sorry heatsink for my CPU with a fan. Sometimes, my computer restarts for no reason, or it shows the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH. Is it because of CPU overheating or what?

Overheating may possibly probably definately could be the problem http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif as it is almost impossible to diagnose due to the fact that the symptoms vary greatly.
If you post a little more information then maybe we could rule out other possibilities. How much are you overclocked? Have you tried going back to the default cpu speed to see if it still fails? Have you tried a thermal probe on the heatsink to verify that it is running too hot? Have you added any other hardware? software? recently.

just added the v3 2k, and default settings. Sorry *** heatsink, but it was stock. thermal paste is used. disabled onboard vid. any other reasons?

Sounds a lot like heat. What voltage, cpu and are you overclocking it (stupid question probably) and if so to what speed.

Another thought set it back to default or even under clock to see if it is the cpu.
