problem with computer?

[SIRCOOKS]

now i have the computer on, come to find out, that heat sink i bought runs slower than the boxed p4 heatsink that came with the cpu, so the processor was overheating badly, besides that now i have the problem of not being able to finish booting, i have no new hardware installed, but the comp turns to a blue screen that tellls me windows has been shut down due to an error....im now thinking i have to reformat my drive....is that so acfter installing a new processor, or what else can be causing this problem. one other thing, i got the comp to boot after i had pulled out all of my pci cards?...strange

hello SIRCOOKS


I believe, from what has been said here, is that your power supply could be weak, and the system does not have enough power to run properly...

I would check the output of the PS to start with, Before reinstalling or anything else...

Good luck
