Bought on 10-01-2009 - Rig for my friend (dunno the exact price for all)
E8400 ~ 8500
Abit IP35E ~5500
Kingston 2gb 800mhz ~ 1150
Seage 7200.11 1.5tb - 7500
Pali 9800GTX+ - 11490
LG 22x - 1075
Micrsoft KB/M - 725
Zebronics PRO Blackjack ~ 2900
CM 600w ~ 3600
AL VS 3251 - 3850
Microtek 800 VA Double ~ 2500

Bought that in the evening - the engineer in the shop was not able to fix the CM 600 W with ABIT - the problem is : ABIT IP35E requires a 8 pin connector which Cooler Master 600 W doesn't bundle with. I thought of replacing CM with corsair or Zebronics platinum but thank god the engineer somehow was able to fix the smps with mobo ( I guess he got some kinda connector - didnt look inside cabinet after fixing)

Got the PC only by monday evening ( paid on saturday evening - it was the first time something like this happened while buying an assemble PC)

Rushed back home to install vista - only to know that the computer shuts down after copying the files. Windows installation didnt proceed - everytime time the pc got switched off (not reboot). Didn't figure out the problem on that day (even after a lot of googling)

Later today, my friend told when he had inserted the live OS (linux) it said "thermal shut down". So we were checking for some kinda "power off after certain temp" option in the BIOS - in fact there was one option like that "shut down CPU TEMPERATURE - 98 C" - when i disabled it - everything worked perfectly.
The thing to be noted here is the shutdown CPU temp was "98C" (not to mistake for 98f)
still the computer was shutting down as though the CPU temp was above 98C - dunno what kinda problem is that - dont even know have to fix this problem or should carry on. Will try to contact the abit tech support guy (if there is anything like that) and solve the sensor problem.

Hope this was useful to someone, atleast after this post gets indexed in google:)

OMG! Re insert / Re fix/ Re fit your CPU cooler. Even 70C temp is too much but your cpu is ruuning at 98C.

Regarding 8 pin & 4 Pin issue. Some mobo did comes with 8 pin power connector but you can always plug in a 4 pin power connector into that without any prob.

First check ur CPU temp carefully by touching it when it shuts down. If its too hot to touch then ur heatsink is not fixed properly. If it is just warm - then either ur BIOS need update or ur mobo temp. sensor is faulty. Check net if there is this type of problem with the particular model no.

Not recommended, may work with low frequency CPU but for E8400 its absolutely recommended to use the full 8 pin connector(that's what my Asus mobo manual said).

To emmarbee, your CPU is overheating, Tj max(maximum temperature) for E8400 is 95c, the feature which you turned off is called Prochot, used to shut CPU down when temperature exceeds Tj max, unless you want a fried CPU do this(taking your mobo to be O.K)

1.Remove Heatsink.
2.Remove leftover thermal paste.
3.Buy and apply some new thermal paste.
4.Re-attach heatsink.

Make sure to take the help of the shop mechanic if needed.

Thanks for your suggestions tkin, arupch and topgear;
I didn't know anyone would be suggesting me a solution.

And I thought leaving the "auto shutdown with temp" disabled will make free from problems not thinking about a fRiEd CPU. I'll try to (in fact i must) start a new thread for this problem. Hoping to see more of your opinions there. Thank you.

P.S - Sorry OP for hijacking this thread :)

Bought a Transcend JetFlash V10 8GB for Rs.700 including VAT. Horrible pen drive. Cheap plastic, the thing was wobbling when I opened it from the pack!! Uber slow data transfer. Don't buy this.

Using ebay discount coupons you can get a 8gb corsair for less than 500. Check out TE there is thread running on the ebay deals. I bought a Seagate 500GB 32 MB HDD @ Rs.2600 with 5 years warranty. Market price is Rs.3200.

Bought TVS Keyboard + Mouse Combo for 630 from Blue Point, Pune.
May be a bit overpriced but needed it urgently and this place was the nearest from my place.

Bought a normal TVS keyboard a few month back. Not impressed at all. Keys need to be pressed quite hard. Sometimes the keypress just don't register with normal pressure. If you type a lot -this not a good keyboard at all. My old Samsung or Logitech keyboard was much much better.
