im starting to think it is a heat problem. In pc probe(software for asus mobo to tell temp) it says the temp for the cpu is 50c because this software trys to reduce it by 10c. In the bios it says it is 60-62c but when i was playing call of duty it crashed and went up to 67c. I have 1 big heatsink fan, the fan on the psu blowing down not out the back and 1 other fan blowing out at the back, i have no more space for any others. could it be a heat problem? The man in the shop said that the cpu is probably faulty, my mate has exactly the same pc as me and his pc is ok even when playing cod.

CPU probably OK, just hot. Most dual-fan power supplies both blow out the back (inner fan blows into PS) because if each fan blowing against the other, then no airflow.
If will run at 1800MHz but not 2200MHz then yes hardware prob because specified to run 2200MHz.
Not talking about sound drivers: want to make sure your setup drivers (Via 4 in 1, Servicepak etc.) are sound ie. OK.
Stick with newest BIOS release, setup properly. Memory timings are under Advanced Chipset Features.
You just have to make sure the foundation is sound before you even install your OS.
60C+ is high, 65C-67C gettin' scary, too hot. You WILL have exactly these probs if overheating. XP3200+ as much heat as 75-80 watt lightbulb!
Maybe inexpensive CPU cooler with goofy OEM compound at mating surface - better clean up & rebuild that with some Arctic Silver. (Dropped my temp from 62C to 52C under stress.)
Run your rig with the cover off. Grab a room fan and blow it into your rig, whatever it takes to diagnose problem, whether heat or ?
Diagnosis is 90% cure...

I dont think heat is the problem because i just opened my case up put a huge ass fan blowing into the case and my temp has come down to 53c from 67c but i was playing call of duty and after 2 minutes it crashed again, i quickly restarted and the temp was 53c so i dont think that an issue now. I think the man might be right about a bust cpu. I will let him put another 1 in on sunday and see how it goes and ill let you all know. Cheers for all the help guys.
p.s is the heatsink fan suppose to blow air away from the cpu or bring air into the cpu cause mine is bringing it into the cpu.

I did tell you that hehe :P
When you are trying to isolate a problem (especially after formatting), its probably not the best idea to run off an install games. Testing and breakin utils will probably pinpoint the problem sooner

I got my pc back 2day and they replaced the processor. i dont think they even tested it but it still crashes. Do you think the memory is too blame or the mobo. They said they would build me a new system anyway. The temp came down and the voltage has come down with this new cpu but still crashes. I put a pci slot fan in their today and it reduces temp by 10 degrees!!!!! only cost £4 aswell.

Well i'd wait until that comes through :)
1. Try doing a full extended memory test
2. Does it crash at random or during activity? :)
