New Toy
Upgraded my rig at home to an E8200 2.66GHz processor and upgraded the graphics card to a MSI NX880GT 512MB card. The rig nows screams but is plaqued with overheating problem. The Corsair XMS DHX 2MB Ram gave way and the rig just locked up and couldn't start at all. It was only after replacing the RAM that it works again but the processor temperature still runs very high at nearly 100 degress Celsius. Suspected problem: thermal paste not applied properly and inadequate cooling.
