Re: New motherboard?



Hi,

......shutting down every 30 minutes....... i was wondering if this is a symptom of a broken motherboard,.....

Have a look at all your fans and make sure they're clean and running, including the one in your power supply. Heat from the clogged cooling fins on your CPU can also cause your shutdown troubles.
