Okay, Problem solved. Just bought me a new mainboard,new cpu, new ram. I tried everything to fix the problem, it didn´t help.But it was denfinitely some kind of hardware malfunction.Damn, I really had no time to check any good offers.And the worst thing is, I didn´t enjoy buying the new hardware, which I normally do. Actually I wanted to buy an Intel CPU (after three Athlon in five years) but my dealer vended only P4 which were too expensive. So I ended up in buying a Sempron 3000+ (almost at the same price as my Athlon 2500, which I bought 2 years ago!) Anyway, thanks for your help

Things are getting more strange. First my pc was shutting down as soon as the WinXP logo appeared-everytime.Again,i had to wait about 1min before the pc responded.So I only could boot in win save mode.I tried to run my AntiVir program (in the save mode) but that caused the pc to shut down,too,right after the program started to check the boot system etc. Now after the 4th reboot and without changing anything the system starts in the normal mode again My question is, could that still be a hardware malfunction, because the system still works in save mode? Or is something like that only caused by a software problem?

Thanks for your reply. I really don´t know what is going on because I can start cm again(but haven´t play it) but now Americas Army is causing the same problem. Yesterday I just played it for a while... system shut down.This never happened before.And after I turned the pc on again, the system was shutting down twice. I really panicked because at the moment I need my PC for scholar work. Thank god, the system is currnetly running. It may used to be an overheating problem but now it isn´t because right after shut down the fan heatsink is almost cold. I guess it is some kind of hardware malfunction. Concerning the fog problem- I did have a radeon card on this system but I think that I formated my hard disk before putting in the nvidia card, I am not sure though. Anyway I am going to try out the file remover.

Help!Everytime I try to run CM (cmbb and cmak) my PC shuts down. I experienced that problem before, but it only happened when the room temp was really hot and when I was playing some hours. I think it is an overheating problem because when the system shut down I had too wait a couple of minutes before I could turn the computer back on. But now as it shuts down at once,I can turn it on again after a short time. Besides CM all games are running fine(e.g. Americas Army) And by the way, my graphics card won´t display any fog in cm, all i can see is a grey screen-still wasn´t able to fix it Fan Whisper Rock IV Mainboard Asrock K7S8X Cpu Athlon 2500 Barton graphics card Leadtek 5900xt power supply 300W normal: GPU 48C Board 36C CPU Temp 46C While playing CM-don´t now exactly-but at least: Cpu 55C
