ok thanks 4 the info, i got a monitoring program asus probe but ive got those 3 now aswell. The thing i forgot to mention i've already underclocked it(myself). It was runnin at 2ghz but wouldnt even boot up so i changed it to 1.5ghz (still crashing though).

Ive already taken the side off too and thats when it started workin, so thats when i posted the message. The sides off and its not crashed yet today & my mates convinced hes gonna come round a fix it at weekend! Thanks again & hopefully i'll fix it before my free trial period on the game runs out. :)

sounds like you need more case airflow. Fans are cheap (try xoxide.com, nexfan.com, SVC.com), and if you don't have any place to put extra fans, it isn't that hard to add a blowhole or a fan in your side pannel. Check out the crazy things people are doing with their pc's at If you go to their forums and the case gallery, you'll see my HTPC mod.
