Ah ha, i had the side off and it had only just booted, but i'll play with it tonight and post the "new" temperatures.

Know any good bench testing software?

If i was you i'd get another 2gb of ram in that system as well.

Can you recommend any?

Burn Hirens using imgburn or something like, then its bootable.


I use GeIL gaming ram, its cheap stuff but works well, but like _A says just get what you had before.... unless it was mega expensive.

Noticed its running ddr2 533mhz stuff, you should be able to get away with slapping some 667 in or perhaps even 800Mhz...... looking at you mobo it says it Supports DDR2 1200* memory for outstanding system performance apparently!

However, i have managed to boot first time on startup all this week, but when i close down and try to reboot it hangs. I have checked the voltages, and i am getting +12v (11.6V), +3.3v (3.3v), DDR18v (2.2v), and i cant change the voltage settings for the RAM either...
