I have a pc based on the amd K6 III 450mhz cpu, and I am suffering from persistent blue screens of death, mainly on system shutdown. I have re-installed tthe operating system 3 times but the problem persists. I have heard rumous that AMD processors sometimes need 300 watt power supply's to run this type of machine. Can anyone help?

The K6-III can get real hot with their stock HSF, at least that what happend to me... Now I'm running a Socket A HSF and its overclocked and works fine... No BSODs... More specs about your system could help a lot

Yeah I had a SocketA Taisol hs with delta running on my old 450Mhz AMD K6-2. Got it overclocked to 523Mhz, but it wouldn't go higher. Prolly coz the old user underclocked it to 350Mhz still unstable because he didnt get a better hsf for it.
