i recently built a custom computer and it worked fine while i was installing a os and testing out my fps in various games :) anyway after about 8 hours the computer wouldnt turn on anymore. It seemed to freeze whenever i turned it on. After poking around for a bit i noticed that soon after turning on the northbridge chipset got EXTREMELY hot, too hot to even slightly touch the heatsink. so i sent it back to asus and received a new one. I put the beast back together and it still doesnt work, but the northbridge chipset isnt as hot now. im at a loss for this, i have even stripped it down to bare minimum components and i get a instantly frozen computer and nothing on my screen. below are my components:
Ultra 400w V-Series PSU Black
eVGA GeForce 7300 GS 256MB PCIe w/DVI/TV-OUT
Seagate 320GB Serial ATA HD 7200/16MB/SATA-3G
Asus P5NSLI Socket 775 Motherboard
Corsair TWINX 2048MB PC5400 DDR2 667MHz (2x1024)
Intel Core2Duo E6600 2.4Ghz 2M 1066FSB Socket 775
