i did its logged in 4 posts back from this one its starts by saying chess game worked

Sorry, my bad, I missed that!

Well, I have to say that it doesn't seem as if your temperatures are the issue here so we will have to look at other things in your system to try and trace the problem. I know, from your first post, that you are running OCZ RAM can you post a link to your modules so we can check those next?

ocz ddr3 pc3-1066/1333mhz  oczf13334gk dual channel 2x 2gb, timings it says is 1.70v 1333mhz cas 9,9,9,20, i spoke to ocz and they said try 1.25-130v on northbridge video cpu

Right, this could be the problem area as, by default, your RAM will be running at 1.5V and you will need to manually set the voltage to 1.7V in BIOS.

You do this under the MIT Section of BIOS so make this change but don't, for the time being, make any other changes in this section. You will need to set the voltage control to Manual and you will probably notice some red flashing type in BIOS giving a warning about overvolting the system, don't worry about this as your RAM is rated at 1.7V

sorry ive already done that when i installed them , and have tried mem test 86 4 passes aswell and tried 1 in and other and in other slots

[sas22nd]

and i changed it to 1333mhz and put 9,9,9,20 timings too

[sas22nd]

bloke from ocz got me to try northbridge video voltage too with no joy but that was when the game was crashing before i had  shutting down problems

[sas22nd]

just ran prime 95 stress test of cpu and ram mixed test, the cpu is holding at 53 deg and the graphics is at 43, the voltages have changed as follows:
cpu vcore 1.30v
ddr 1.70v after changing in bios
+3.3v is 3.20
+12v is 12.45
-12v is 10.56v
vbat 3.10v
powers -package 98.80w

[sas22nd]

is the voltages ok there seems to be a big difference on the -12v readings under load (prime95) went from 7.68 to 10.52 under stress and the power package wattge is 41.00 normal and 98,80 under stress, how come the +12v is always 12. something volts and the -12v is well under

The voltages are pretty much as I would expect them to be.

Have you tried loosening the timings of your RAM a bit? Instead of trying to get it running at 9,9,9,20 try setting it to 9,9,9,24. Does this help?

[sas22nd]

just going to try it now cheers

update that worked for chess game played about 5 games no probs , so i started bf3 and there was a big update so i was downing that and i think it may have finished as i was playing chess game still and the computer shut down i think maybe getting there or maybe the memory is shagged after all and memtest 86 never picked it up or my board dont like it but that is 2 sets if so as this was a different replacement from ocz as 1st set was to intel specific as mine is amd, any thoughts
