k7sem and xp2200+

i don't know why..
but my xp2200+ always crashes on the k7sem...

the xp2200+ is original from AMD w/ the original fan that AMD provides
too...
why is that?

I think it's the power supply problem.
here's what I did..

my power supply is 300w, at least that's what the seller told me..
I just unplugged the case fan ... which I suppose uses up quite abit of
electric...
now when heavily used, (cpu usage about 40%+) the case temperature about
43c and cpu temperature about 42c.
compare to before, 38c and 37c.. so I guess the case fan cools down the
temperature by about 5c.
but i'm not doing overclocking anyways... so 42c is okay for me.

so far it's fine for me.. so i believe it's gotta do w/ power supply.
