    Computer Problems

    Much of the problems im seeing seem to be form my computer getting to hot. Like random crashes, alot of BSOD's with diffrent error problems. But I tried running Sandra to check the temps. My motherboard temp stayed between 32-33c and my cpu temp stayed between 48-51 and those are when im playing bf2 and both seem to be in normal ranges. The crashes seem to hapen when im playing games. Not just new ones like Bf2 but I get more frequent BSOD's from playing AOEII (age of empires 2). The person who built my computer thinks its cooling but hes not sure because he hasent been over to see the computer yet. Does anybody know what could be causing this?
    My Specs
    AMD Athlon 64 2800+
    512 Ram DDR400 PC3200
    K8M800-8337 Motherboard (dont kno what that means, its the Model #)
    120gb hard drive

    Dont know what else to put

    Download and run a program called memtest86 to rule out any memory problems.

            Go into your BIOS, change the boot order to floppy first, make sure disk is in floppy, restart, program will boot, run several passes of memtest, restart, go into BIOSchange boot order back to how it was before, restart.

                    Re: Computer Problems

                    Nah, that should be fine. Have you looked at event viewer to see what error if any it shows.

                      If the event viewer is the thing in the middle that did not have all the odd coding, both error categories said 0.
