Okay so i fixed the heatsink and my temps drop so much it wasn't even funny. There in like40C and they used to be 46C when i first put it together and about 80C abnout a week later. I have some pictures of temps and stuff please look over to make surte i didn't miss something. And how can i tell if my system is stable and that the heatsink was what was making it turn off? http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/8505/mycomp.png

The programs i have are CPu-Z, Gpu-Z, hardware Moniter and Realtemp. Should i try an all nighter ( for the computer not me :P) and see if it stays on?

I would get prime95 and run it, it will tell you if your computer is stable or not, but I wouldnt run it unattended because that way you can watch your temps at the same time with cpu-z

In order to test properly for system stability, PRIME95 should be running for at least 24 hours straight... obviously it will have to be left unattended at some point. The worst thing that can happen is you'll get the BSOD, but if one of the tests fails, the core being stressed will report the error and will stop it's calculations - thus setting the relevant core to 0% usage and will then obviously cool down.

I was suggesting that he not leave it unattended because his temps shot up above 80c while his computer was idle so for the first run of an hour or so just to check his system I wouldnt leave it unattended. and most the time you can test the stability of a system in much less then 24 hours, if it runs stable for 5 or 6 hours it is pretty much an assurance that it is stable
