I've got a problem with my new A7v333 board with Athlon XP 2100.

The problem is that the system shutdown without any alert. I supose
that's a hot-related problem but in the Bios appears the CPU and
board's hot levels and they don't seems exaggerated.
CPU: never higher than 55º C
BOARD: never higher than 33º C

Do you have any idea of what could be the reason??

Thanks

IT's not that the PSU get's hot. If the *rail* voltages get too low, then it could shut the computer down since there's not enough power getting through to the CPU/Video card/RAM/whatever.

It could be but that doesn't explain why the "shut down" time is shorter when I restart the system.( I mean, when the system is hotter)

I said that when I turn on the computer it holds 4 minutes, and when it shuts down and I restart it the time reduces to 1 minute or less. And so on.
Anyway I don't know how to configure properly that "*rail* voltages".
Thanks
