Nice box! The only thing I can see right off-hand is perhaps a little bigger psu, if for no other reason than to give yourself some overhead...

That's a smokin' system! I don't see anything else you could need. How's it running?

runs great, my last pc was an P3 800 . I am having one problem though, my computer will not shutdown. When i go to shutdown, the computer just restarts. So i unchecked "restart on system failure and got this blue screen on shutdown...

Blue Screen at shutdown

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shutdown to prevent further damage to your computer.

Check to be sure that you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing the video adaptors.

Check with the vender for BIOS update. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.

Tech Info

*** STOP: 0X0000008E (0XC0000005, 0X805D80CD, 0XF86D6A54, OXOOOOOOOO)


Any info on how to fix this would be great
