Good stuff, moby's seem to run at very low voltage by default, I guess to prevent toasty chips. The problem shows up when games like HL2 push it to the limit. Glad its sorted. :)

Ok update, i have had to run it at 2.7v because it was freezing, and i cant use xtreme g drivers because it throws me out of BF2 :( but i have just gone back to the Nvidia drivers so we will soon see how stable my PC is. I cant run Prime95 for more than 6mins, but i seem to be able to run everything else. I will get a new PSu 4 my bday on Mon hopefully. Thinking of the Akasa Pax Power 460W one because it is quiet, looks good and should be able to power my system when i oc it. ive only had this mobo for a few days as i have now got Lord Wards (my bro) system off him and sold my old 1. I think he had it for just under a year i cant really remember. I do like this mobo if it allows me to oc well, but that does depend on the ram i have (Elixir PC3200). Ill try ocing when i get a new PSU and better cooling. Thanks for the help guys, ill keep you updated if anything goes wrong. !TIMMY!

you have got a problem somwhere, on a stable system you should be able to run prime 95 for 8 hrs plus! Hmm you say you may need better cooling, could be a starting point! :) Ive been told the nvida 66.93 driver is the best one out there if that helps 8)

Ok ive found what was wrong, it was the new stick of ram i put in, just ran Prime95 for over an hour and managed to watch a video for 45 mins and run 3DMARK05 an its fine, with the voltage at 2.65v for the ram instead of 2.7v. It would reboot when watching videos before. My cooling is fine and im going to make it better so i can oc the cpu and graphics card safley. Im a happy now, well happy when i get a stick of ram that works. Thanks again for the help. !TIMMY!

I'm having some serious problems now. As mentioned above, when ever i tried to view a video in mozilla or IE, it freezes (a windows media streaming thingy like on www.big-boys.com) so i removed, and reinstalled mozilla and IE and it still didnt work. So i removed windows media and reinstalled, still not working. HELP ME PLEASE!

Might be something about codecs, and i dont know much about those things but u can download the clips from there and here is the way to do that there is no download button but u can get link to the vid from page source(on firefox) There will be alot of shit there but search wmv,avi,mpg and u might find it http://www.big-boys.com/articles/cyclewipeout.html http://media4.big-boys.com/content/cyclewipeout.wmv :D :D :D
