Go up one level in this thread


Sounds like your CPU is overheating.  After it does that and is re-booting,
press Del to go into BIOS.  Check your CPU temperature.  It could be that you
need better cooling.

If that is not it, then check your power supply.  Engine matches are using 100%
cpu power so they are very demanding.  You need a good powerful power supply
that can give a steady supply, especially on the 5v rail.  If you have
motherboard monitor, you can check how the voltages are fluctuating as you push
the processor.
