Looks good Mike. Just curious, is your CPU fan pushing air down or pulling it up?
that could create a problem if its pushing air and the fan on the top of your case is pulling your airflow will be all f'ed up so if it is pushing flip it over so the air flow is in line with the big fan, you could also put the fan to the other side.

comrade is at it again. Lets translate: it would be best if the CPU fan blew out the top.

exactly, let me post right after you "explaining" your post and fill the thread with useless posts.
I felt that it was necessary to clarify what you meant because it was unclear and hard to read due to lack of punctuation. So I translated your post into one that could be understood after reading it only once. It is not my intention to create useless posts.
Mike, see if you can get it to either blow out the back or out the top, if possible (after you figure out why it's randomly shutting down).
Did you install a fresh copy of Windows 7 or use an upgrade copy from a previous version of Windows?
Have you run Prime95 on it at all? I suggest running Prime95 for about 30 minutes to an hour while you monitor the temperatures. You can also use VMT or Video Memory Stress test and possibly run that at the same time as Prime95. Another options is to run 3DMark06. However, you still need to run Prime95 for an extended period of time before you determine anything.
His PC isn't supposed to shut down while playing Crysis, why does he need prime95 to tell him there's a problem?
Hm, ok i'm lost.. installed the fresh windows, installed and played crysis on the default setting, and my pc is still shutting down.
Guess i should start running those stress tests now, as i'm not sure what else there is to do.
I just think its odd that i can play any other game online, even while running at 4GHz, without any probs..
Think i'll just stick with CnC4 and battlefield for now untill crysis 2 comes out..Hm, here's a thought.. Any chance its trying to run crysis through directx 11, b/c off my new mobo?
Cause my cards dont support that crap, on the other hand. Why would it run the other games properly..Right its quite obvious i'm a little confused right now, no idea whats wrong..
Cheers, mike.
do a bios update, put some non conductive material like electrical tape behind the mobo (on the case) to stop the leads on the mobo from contacting the case, make sure you do that behind the atx power socket.
You aren't overclocking anything and only Crysis is making the machine shut off? I would agree with comrade that it could be a short circuit causing the shutdowns, but why only in Crysis?
if that doesnt work boot from this program it finds errors in your ram if you get more than 300 errors in pass 1 i suggest retuning your ram and buying another set.

download the pre-built .zip extract the .iso burn to a disc and boot from it.
Terrorbulky......
maybe a useless opinion but i had a simular prob....and it was my powersupply that was heating up and shutting down the pc total.
just a idea.
i got the 1000w from antec (alternate).......... succes jongen.
