It could just be the break-in phase. Electronics either break within a few hours or a few years.

Have you tried resetting the bios yet? Try something like speedfan (http://almico.com) to get the temps.

He's right. Just pull out the CMOS pin and put it into the other position, then put it back. It should reset the BIOS configuration. If not, then it sounds like you have either a RAM problem or a power supply cable issue. Everything plugged in, including the little 12 volt 4-pin piece?
