I got two comps as u can see in my sig...
The K6-III suddenly began locking up randomly, once it worked for two hours of hardcore gaming and after resting for ½ an hour I ran GTA2 and it hanged after a short while, the CPU isn't overheating, cause the HSF used are the original and the fan runs very, got thermal compound betwin HS and CPU, and all that stuff, side fan...

But the comp still locks up... It got a 300Watt generic PSU, and 2 40mm fans, 1 50mm fan, 2 80mm fans are connected. Still could it be a power problem?

well just because you have paste etc. doesnt mean it isnt heat, infact tahts what I am betting it is, get MBM5 at www.downloads.com and check your temps.

This mobo doesn't have a temp probe...
