Re: help pleasssssssssssseeeee

Go into bios and check the temperatures. Try cleaning the internal parts with canned air. Especially the cpu heatsink and fan. Be sure the cpu fan is working properly. It is better if it is removed and cleaned. Be sure the cpu heatsink is tight against the cpu.

Re: help pleasssssssssssseeeee

Re: help pleasssssssssssseeeee

I think it's the problem with motherboard or bios update

Yes that's probably it then. Test the memory with memtest86+ v4.0 If the memory has no errors then flash the bios back. Memtest86+ ver.4.0 Zip ISO is found here ----> http://www.memtest.org/download/4.00...+-4.00.iso.zip Web page is found here.----> Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
