It's fun building your own PC, but problems like this do
appear from time to time, even if you are building PC's
professionally!
things to check:
(Does the same thing happen in safe mode?)
1. The Processor fan is not being restricted from correct
opperation
2. The Ram is correctly seated (try reseating, or
swapping order, or swapping for other ram - Gigabyte
boards are notorious for not working with some makes
of RAM!)
3. The Bios is up-to-date as per the manufacturers
website (I think you said Gigabyte so
www.giga-byte.com)
4. Install the WHQL drivers for your graphics card, if
still same problem, swap graphics card, or boot from
onboard graphics, if you have onboard!
After all is said and done, Rebuild your machine, and do
a fresh install, do all the updates first and then go for
the latest updated drivers from the relevant
manufacturers!
-Let us know how you get on. (Stick to the same Thread,
it's easier to track!)
