Oh, by the way, my specs are: Phenom 2 x4 955 BE Asus evo mobo Sapphire HD 5770 500gb hdd 4gb Ram (G.Skill) 700w PSU Windows 7 (64-Bit)

Hey there, I just bought a hard copy of Starcraft 2 the other day. The disc itself is in brand new, perfect condition. I tried to install it and I kept getting an error at around 50-52% and the installation would stop. I got ahold of Blizzard and they gave me a line of worthless information...

My psu...along with every other part of my pc is less than 2 months old. It is an OCZ 700 watt psu. The reboots seemed to have stopped for now though. Maybe it was some glitch that worked itself out? I added 2 more gigs of ram and a HD5770 since my original post and things have been running...

Oops....forgot to mention the case. Lancool PC-K7. The entire build has cost me $591 because I found some nice deals on newegg. The HD 5770 has been nice so far, but i'm only gaming at 1280x1024. The only thing I kept from my old PC was my monitor...an old Sony 17 inch. The HDD is brand...

My first build....what should I look to upgrade first? AMD Phenom iix4 955 BE ASUS 785td-V EVO MOBO 4 gb G.skill (4 x 1gb) Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 OCZ 700w PSU WD 360gb HDD My primary interests are gaming and surfing the web.

Well, for a new wrinkle to my problem.....I ran PC Probe and got the 0 rpm reading from my 'Power Fan'. Then I rebooted and ran PC Probe again and got rpm reading for CPU, Chassis and Power fans! So I assumed PC Probe was messed up. Then I ran sensorsview and it still showed 'Sys Fan' at 0...

Newf, Thanks for your reply without the need to be a comedian. All my case fans are spinning....I have two front panel 120mm fans and a rear 120mm. I pulled up a monitoring program that came with my motherboard, it's called Asus PC Probe. It reads: CPU- 38c MB- 32c CPU fan- 4166rpm Chassis...

Thanks for the reply, but I thought the Proc fan was called 'CPU fan' which is rotating at many rpm. Sensorsview shows me 3 fans: CPU fan, SYS fan and AUX fan. Which doesn't make sense to me because I have 3 case fans and a CPU heatsink/fan. It may be as easy as 'get a new one', but to get...

So my pc decided to randomly reboot itself in the last week or so. My friend suggested heat as the culprit. I opened sensors view and sure enough, it said my 'Sys fan' was at 0 rpm. That leads to my next question....what is my Sys fan? My case has 3 fans. It's a lancool pc-k7. Can anyone...

Thanks everyone, I'll look into the psu!

I installed the drivers from the cd that came with the motherboard, my video card is coming in the mail tomorrow (an hd 5770 by the way). I have done all the windows updates. The pc froze up once and I shut it down....I don't know. I just ran memtest and no errors were found, so I guess that...

Uggghhh. Ok, first of all, I just built my first system and everything was fine for the most part. Last week, it started restarting randomly. Sometimes it restarts while surfing the web, some times, like today, it restarted during my son playing 'Spore'. The only thing I could think of is...
