After running 3D Mark 2000, computer hangs. I reset the computer. After self-test, the computer suddenly turns off. When I switch back the computer, nothing display and cannot begin self-test. I've built this computer /w following hardware in Tuesday: (I have not O/C)
Abit KT7A
AMD TB 850
Buffulo PC-133 128 MB RAM
Inno3D GeForce 2 MX
FOP 32 Fan Heat Sink
PowerMax 300W ATX Power
 
The KT7A has a temperature-controlled safety switch which shuts the system down if the processor temperature climbs too high. Your manual should have the temperature ranges. The BIOS screen should display processor temperature, so run Quake for a while then reboot and check your processor temperature in BIOS setup. If it's high, then check the cooler on your motherboard to see if it's working OK.
