hey. my computer randomly restarts for some reason.so my computer restarted after i took out my heatsink and reinserted it. after that i turned on my cpu and then i went to my bios and looked at my processor temp and it wuz so high. so i went and bought some theremal paste. i put the thermal paste on my processor and then put my heatsink on and etc. turned on my pc and everything wuz workin fine but still restarts after an hour or so. then i changed my power supply and now since i changed it it started restarting more less.
then the next day or so it restarted only once. ppl keep on telling me to uncheck something in system and they also say i installed my heatsink improperley. i also go to this site but nothing helps http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000605.htm . PLZ SOMEBODY HELP!!!!!!!!!

How much thermal paste did you use? Are you sure the fan is on correctly?

Lots of progress

Science is built up with facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is not more a science than a heap of stones is a home
