Sometimes my pc would switch itself off with no warning whether im surfing, playing games or just being idle.

I have a XP2000+ with a Soltek mb with auto cpu shutdown if it goes above a certain temp. Is this the auto shutdown at work here?

Only recently did it start doing this & i'm only using the standard boxed fan that came with the cpu

Thanks for any help you guys can provide

Now why didnt i think of that

Cheers dude
