The computer is only over a week old. I built it 8 days ago.

want to type system specs including the voltages of the cpu/ram/video

If it is while playing FA then it can be steam related unless it is TOTALLY shutting off.We need more specifics like what it is doing EXACTLY and what you have.

It wouldn't turn on, so I replugged it.

Sounds like a heat issue or a RAM voltage problem.If you didnt get your heatsink on correctly or use thermal paste then that could be it. Check your heat closely against what your CPU suggest.Also check your voltage on everything in the bios. If that is not set correctly it can cause the same problem.

What actual speed is your ram running at. Make sure its not running as fast as your fsb. Is it set to auto?Is 1.33v what your cpu is getting? If so that's to low.

Thats what it said. It should be better voltage if the transfer rate is 8x, but I guess not. Should I set it to 4x?The RAM is running slower than the FSB, so thats ok.

Its my surge protector. The plugs are halfway in it. I accidently might've unplugged it by moving foot last night. Thats why the computer wouldn't turn back on at first. It turned on when I replugged it.
