No, I made sure to select PSU.


Also, I'll run it for the few hours when I have more time. I can't exactly do that today.

..Alright. It's officially a heat issue. I was just playing WoW earlier and it did it again. Tried rebooting over 10 times and it kept crashing. Let it sit for 5 minutes and it booted up fine. When I launched WoW again and watched temps, it pretty quickly hit 83C (still running there, too, without lowering clock speeds.)

[I.S.T.]

AMD's current CPU line runs fairly hot... try using a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo. I got one of those and they are an amazing cooler for the price.

Honestly, I'm starting to consider watercooling. The only issue is, though, I can't get a damn job in this area >.> Every time I get a reply to an app, they turn me down the second they find out I'm a college student. *Shrugs* But I won't rant about that here.


Thanks, everyone, for your input and advise! Now I know I just have to save up some cash for better cooling. Lol

That Hyper 212 EVO is a good cooler for the money (~$40). Not dirt cheap, but it's not as expensive as water cooling and much more effective than stock coolers. The Noctua NH-D14 is reputed to be as good as water cooling but it's very expensive (~$80) and is freakin huge.
