Hi a mates just built a PC with:
AMD A2 4600+ (Stock fsb and heatsink)
Asus M2N4 Sli
Booting to bios with case side off:
CPU: 46C-48C
Mobo: 35C climbing when PC underload to around 50C
At the moment he can't even install Windows on it as the PC is cutting out as soon the mobo reaches 50C.
Any possible suggestions as to why this is happening? The rest of the case seems fine and yes the heatsink for the CPU is on properly.
