Im running a 2700+ XP at stock on an A7N8X2.0 with stock heatsink/fan

What happens is, it keeps randomly shutting down. I figure its the C.O.P. doing this to me.

I checked the cpu temps through bios and it says 39 degrees... My old asus a7n266-c ran at 34.2... Is this my problem (the heatsink/fan) or is there another possibility?
 
More info:

Multi, FSB, RAM dividers, timings, PSU Brand and Specs, voltage readings taken by VOM or Multimeter, other devices in the system, when the crash is occuring so as to rule out software, etc

Also, shutting down or rebooting?

Finally, checking CPU temp in bios is rather pointless, as there really is no activity at that point, making the temp way lower than reality, but not lower enough to be a ~30 degree difference assuming that the warning temp is 50-60 and the shutdown temp is 60-70
 
it can be that your cpu is overheating??? powersupply?? ram?? there's alot of things... name your hardware and we can possibly help you out more.
 
PSU : antec smartpower 350w blue - brand new
FSB: 333
no ram dividers
cpu at stock speeds

the ram may be it
PNY 512MB PC2100.. i just got it for free until i get some xms corsair. i didnt know ram would do that. all i know is that bad ram would create a lot of errors and freeze while booting down.
