From: aaronl <aaronl.chism@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2011 23:21:(PST) ok guys so here it is and its been a problem for over a year now and revisited many times since its started with nothing new. my problem is in the middle of anything from being idle, to gaming, my computer resarts, turns off, or just the monitor goes black and the fans continue to run(if i was blind itd sound normal). but right before either one of these failures i hear a disticnt click then instantly the problem. and on the phase where it restarts it says system failure due to cpu overclocking, and it also says this when you turn on the computer. im not sure where the click sound comes from. so in the last week i places a new pci express video card in it, and a brand new a70 air cooler. it seemed to work last night it worked for hours, then today worked for 30 mins max, sometimes 5 mins. all varying. i know its staying cool with the new air cooler. and i have the 2 big fans on the sink, and 5 smaller fans throughout. on the power supply alone it has 3 fans. i know the P5GD2 is old, but i wanna solve this. i cant find anything online with the same problem. whats the word guys.

Chapter 3: MB Exchange Rules

MB Exchange Rules

1. MB exchange should be used the same model. P/N. spec, only when special case (ex: No stock in warehouse) we can use substitute to exchange. 2. Substitute using priority: (1) Same Spec for original CPU. Memory installed. (2) Same main chipset (North Bridge, South Bridge), same size (ATX, Micro ATX). (3) Same function (use same I/O, Lan ,Audio chip). (4) If there is no suitable model for sub, please use higher level product to instead of it. 3. If you have no idea about MB exchange, please ask TSD support window.
