HAHA... I'm laughing so hard my jaw hurts!
Dude, I think a number of us guys have run into these
sort of systems when it just feels like you don't know
what the heck is going on anymore. One day your sure
it's the heat then another it's the volts, so on and so
forth. Then one day you roll out of bed and the answers
just come to your brain like magic.
Did you ever check to see if the fans on your old PSU are
working?
You should read up and see what volts your CPU needs to
run and make sure your motherboard is not over doing the
voltage. The same goes for the DDR voltage because that
can effect things as well.. but this is just to make sure there
is nothing cooking away to make heat.
Your temps look fine to me so I'd say it's something else
however you did say it ran more stable with the side off. So
this is why I said to check the PSU and make sure its fans
are working because it adds up.
You want more fans blowing out then into your case. Odds are
that you can remove the heat faster than trying to cool it down
with normal outside air. This would only make the air that is hot
swirl around alot longer.
You don't want the radeon paired with my SB Live on IRQ 16.
But I would not say that is the problem here. Move the sound
card into another slot or force it to change IRQ's on those PCI
slots to another. Also move the DDR rams around into other slots,
this is just for the heck of it to say we did something before
the new PSU comes in the mail.
