I recently put a computer together with some spare parts.

Here are the system specs:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ w/Stock cooler (40-45C)
1GB Crucial PC3200
MSI K8N Neo4 (not platnum)
Antec NeoHE 500w PSU
ASUS FX5900 Ultra
3com 10/100 NIC
60GB IDE HD

Right now the system doesn't seem stable. It lags a lot and sometimes has random restarts. When I extract zip files using windows it finishes but still shows that its unzipping the file and just sits there. The onboard NIC is installed, but doesn't seem to connect to the internet. Also MSI PC Alert 4 reports the 12v line being dangerously low 2v, but in the motherboard bios on boot its fine at like 11.7ish.

I just did a fresh install of WinXP Pro fully updated. I'm also using the latest drivers from Nvidia (nForce + Video) and I updated the Bios on the motherboard.

Any Ideas?
