I tried to run a stablity test and it crashed 20 sec. into it all 3 times i tried
Any ideas would be great

it is not stable, bump the volts up within the safe limits and see if it becomes stable. if it does not and you are at stock speeds, something is wrong with your processor or mobo if memtest passed fine.

edit: how long have you had this cpu and when did it first start crashing?

ouch... that sucks. see if you can bump the voltage up while staying within safe limits. are you still at stock speeds? it is possible the previous owner tried some overclocking and sucked it and decided to sell it. i doubt the cpu is fried, but that is always a possibility too. sorry my area of expertise sucks with AMD processors, hopefully someone else can come along and help you more. my guess would be bad previous overclock...

thats what ithink too. one other thing it came with a rapter hd> sata< and it get reconised in bios but locks the computer up when i try to format it so i bought a seagate sata drive and it worked for about a week now its doing the same thing. what do you think about that? as far as ocing it i dont know much about doing that kind of thing thus i havent tried. thats not to say the other guy didnt
