Got where it would only run from never to an hour or so. Assuming your RAM is up to the task (300A at 450 is at 100MHz FSB so PC100 is recommended), here are my next-best guesses. I would suspect a heat-related problem based on your above statement. Make sure the CPU fan is working, and that dust hasn't accumulated in the heat sink? Also if you haven't tried them yet I would recommend a CPU cooling program such as CpuIdle, cpuidle.de Personally I use CpuIdle but there are other similar programs also available(Waterfall or Rain?). Another random guess, maybe the power supply is starting to fail?
