Sound like you are doing some dangerous activites!
It should be a matter concerning the "POWER Supply", right? :hammer3:

A friend of mine has got into trouble with his PC after he's done something like "overclock"...
he said the Power Supply just got burning, i have no idea what's happened...:confused:

Not really dangerous unless you really screw up the voltage i onley uped the volts a bit on intel cpus becase they arent very good overclockers w/o uping the volts just a tad but uping the volts too much = psu overload=less life of prosessor what verclocking means is to "unlock" the extra ghz and fsb that is in there but is not active you get more than what you pay for and if done proporley can increasse preofomance in video games dramitcley *oh btw my english is not all that good so excuse my grammer :D*

You're welcome!


Which games do you play most?
If the vedio card is good enough, I think 1.2GHZ should be enough!
