After like 2 hours of running this it f****** locks up. Than I reboot it and all the progress is deleted. :bang head
Any suggestions to stop this are welcome.

My Power supply fan burnt out on it. Also the temps suck on it. Should I buy a Gaming Case for it new PSU and all. Stock 800mhz.
 
Is it possible the PSU is having fluxuations in the voltages and the computer responds with a lock up.
 
Yeah, when my PSU fan stopped I had to wiggle my wiring until I got it working again. Made my gaming box totally unstable.

A more worthwhile upgrade would be to get a newer duron or athlon XP (if its socket a A board). That could give you a big production boost.

I wouldn't generally recommend taking a psu apart, but if you're careful about it, you can rewire a new fan in there.
 
I have taken apart PSU from Xbox PS2 computers. as long as you don't touch the the hardware. PSU's are enough as it is on NEWEGG anyway.
 
Opps I didn't know you can't swear on these boards I thought you just couldn't attack anyone sorry won't happen again.
