The route i went which noone has mentioned thus far is a good monster surge protector.
such as:

Thats an expensive one but its what I have. Also, they get cheaper as u go down. You will have to read to make sure, but most still...
Heres a review with your cooler and and I7 920. Their temps are a lot lower than yours, but thats at stock.
FYI im running my I7920 at 3.8 with 1.254V per cpuz. So yea your vcore is way off.

Theres a thousand different answers to this, but a good place to start is rebooting into safe mode and scan with whatever programs you have available. Malwarebytes antimalware is a decent program.
I've ran into a similar issue before. This may not apply to you but check it. Occasionally the DC Jack inside the computer breaks. When this happens, the charger can not charge the battery or power the computer. You can tell by looking into the circle where the charger plugs into the computer...
I don't really see anything wrong with what you have. You can see what other people think, but if he might play games I'd stick with a tri core or better. I'd probly try to find a quad if i could afford it. Another thing you could look into is seeing if that mother board would support unlocking...
One thing to consider is the bios updates. My last MSI board had issues updating the bios. Their tools had issues and it wasnt exactly a quick and easy update. It was a little quirky. Compared to ther MBs Ive owned, MSI had the most hassle updating bios. It was doable but a lot more aggravating...
I think it would be close. I have a more beefy system than what you are building and i think 430 would be close. I'm not one to run a PS close to its ratings. If you want to be sure without going ahead and buying another power supply, check into a kill a watt. With it, You can build your system...
No problem Shawn. I tend to get to technical sometimes, but its a habit since i'm an engineer. Im not sure on the cache side of things. I think its just whatever they want to put.
The general idea though i think is that bigger is better but costs more. Maybe somone else can chime in on that...
Generally, If they match up across the board, same core (Ex: Yorkfield), and have the same size caches, they are pretty much the exact same chip with different set multipliers.
We are charged a premium for an increased multiplier. These chips pretty much have the same boundries as far as OC but...
Here is a link for GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L
Its a Hard mod. Don't use it if you don't completely research it and understand what to do.
Heres another link that appears to be a pencil mod.
Thats pretty much the definition of Vdroop. There will usually always be a difference. Theres really no way around this since people aren't able to use superconductors at room temperature and manufacturers have to mass produce the boards which means they don't get them perfect. Some boards are...
While I'm not an expert in this area, One drawback is that you would have to up NB and chip voltages for a faster FSB. Since most people like to minimize voltages for longer life and less heat, they usually do it the first way. I have heard there are slight performance gains(sometimes...
Hey Champ,
Until a more knowledgable person answers your post, heres a link to check out to tide you over.

As far as i know its easily removable since all your doing is basically removing the pencil lead similar to erasing on paper.(...
Ok, I'm a little new but when you said," I was under the impression that PCI-e 2.0 video cards were backwards compatible with 1.0 motherboards. Is this not correct? "
It seems to me like you got that backwards. 2.0 slots in the motherboard are backwards compatible with cards requiring PCIe 1.0...
