My computer did the same thing. Learned the power supply inside the computer was faulty and fried.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

Is the fan INSIDE your computer working?

If you know what your doing go into the bios and see if you can start to manage the power to your CPU, if you can and if you know what your doing turn that setting on. I had a heating issue to and thats how I fixed it, now my com beeps at me now when it would BSOD. Its both annoying but funny at time's, sometimes my mom thinks were have a talk lol, anyway try to find out what hardware is to hot.

Is taking one challenge request. First come first serve. I'm a bit rusty now but I'm going to try and crank something out for this. MW and up no glitches DSL or Stock.

Again, if no BSOD, cooling, PSU, faulty memory or physically broken mobo.
If BSOD, software.

That is what my dad says i might ask him to get a new power supply or something.

No that is why i have the fan outside, but now it's not cutting it.

Meh. All I have fans on is my CPU and GFX card. Even though they are both overclocked, my computer does just fine.

It's probably the PSU or RAM. Most mobos beep when the temperature rises too much, THEN shut down.

To rule out the RAM, get a memtest86+ LiveCD.
