Movies (divX:s and others) works fine about 10minutes but then my computer crashes. It makes the same sound when i shut it down (that "klicsh" sound)It does that too whith some new 3d games. i have AMD athlon thunder bird 1200mhz, 512ram, radeon 9700pro.
This really disturbing me, someone please help me...
1. Check that ur harddisks are trashed
2. You are most likely experiencing an overheating issue. Head on over to http://sac-ftp.externet.hu/utildiag2.html and grab a BurnIn Test and it and watch as your CPU temp climbs.... and your system will click due to overheating protection

well it did not shown the temperatures but i watched it from "via hardware monitor" program. Temperature was about 49-51c. should i have tested it longer than that?
1. 49-51 seems pretty hot for a Tbird but not dangerously so.... check your BIOS to see if you have overheating protection and if its set to a manual trigger (i.e., 55 degrees).... If however 49-51 is the mobo temp then it IS mopst likely an overheating problem.
2. Try watching the temp as you watch movies and stuff. You might find a pattern then.
3. Try running asomething like a PiFast or something burn in tester of sorts... i'm still not completely convinced its not heating problem. You could also try encoding videos instead.
