I recently installed new motherboard XFX P4XE-MVB along with Celeron 2.0 and 512 DDR PC-2100.

I finally got it running for a couple of days after installing new hard drive but now I am having problems.

The computer starts rebooting itself while running programs. I was running TmpGen encoding an .avi file when this happens. Also, when I am running Sonic MyDVD!

Please Help!

I just checked my CPU Temp was 73 C

Fan Speed 2,518 RPM
VCore (V) 1.45v
Vcc3 (v) 3.29v
+5 v 4.94
+12v 11.43
-12v -12.03v
Vbat (v) 3.08v
5vsb (v) 5.45v

I am not sure what these readings mean?

It means your CPU temp was too high. Open the case and check if the CPU fan is working. Also check if the CPU and HSF are installed properly.

Running encoding programs will put a heavier load on CPU which results in higher temp. Hence proper cooling of the system is a must.
