Well they told me the first time i called them that it also could be my power supply.

I would suggest you to get crysis and max out the video settings.. My computer ususaly blacked out after a few hours when i did it!
I got home and started doing some snooping and coretemp was reporting very high temps (around 65c) under no cpu load. So I took everything apart and discovered one of the mounting pins for my cpu cooler had come loose. I locked it back down and under no load I was getting 35c. Under load it had to have been spiking super high and causing things to run super slow.

After all that and seeing my temps being very low I decided to start messing with overclocking. Right now i've been running stable at 3.15 ghz and prime95 full cpu load with temps under 55c. I"m going to spend the next day or two pushing the system to it's limits overclocking and find a stable overclock. :thumbsup:
