Does anyone know what is causing the cpu fan to stop. When it does the cpu overheats and shuts down the computer. This just started and it has been running for over 6 months with no problems.

I posted a few days back in the video card area, asking if I'd need a new PSU, but doing my own research, I'm convinced I do. The question is, exactly what? I'm a noob to this mod thing, but I've been told that replacing a power supply isn't all …

What would you consider a really good memory for no overclocking. I do video editing and do play a couple of games. No big time ones though. Do I need cl 2.5? or is 3 fine? I will be getting 2gb and would like to keep it under 200.
