new computer give blue screen on boot up

[Guest]

Hi!
My computer is acting really wierd. Since I've installed win xp on it.
It has an Asus k8n motherboard, running an athlon 3400+ chip
geforce 5200 fx
1024 mb ram
19-inch lcd.
this is the problem. I can get it to work fine, but its a roll of the dice
on whether I have to pick continue normally or last good configuration. When
it does work it works fine. Anyway, I boot up my computer and it does its
thing til right before I see the windows logo, it'll give me a splits second
flash of a blue screen. I don't know what the blue screen says all I know is
that it is there and that it causes my computer to reboot. Any help would be
appreciated it. I updated all the bios drivers and video drivers.

Best Regards

Nathan, rt click MyComputer>select Properties>Advanced>Startup and
Recovery-Settings>Uncheck Automatically Restart. Next time this happens
it should give you a BSOD with a error message.

Mr. Barry,
I enabled that in "My computer" and by pressing f8 on the boot up the bsod
only flashes and then reboots again. I am running winxp pro, if that will
help at all.

I went into the event viewer and got this out of an error, don't know what it
might be though...
Fault bucket 07918338.

Nathan, the symptoms are also indicative of a Flaky Power Supply. Try
Motherboard Monitor. It will give you a readout
of temps and voltages. The 3.3, 5 and 12v lines should not dip below 5%.
Download it here.

Hi
I tried to run motherboard monitor but my motherboard is not listed on their
database, so that didn't work well. Also I noticed that my pc when I am
playing my games has cpu temps of 129, and motherboard temps of 100+...Is
this normal if not can I prevent it? What can I do to fix it?
