Hi all,

I got got problem with my pc here.
Recently I just upgrade my pc with 4GB of DDR2 800(2GB + 4GB New), CM GX650W PSU, MSI 6870 Hawk Ed. and 24" Samsung A350 monitor.
My current CPU is AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ (AM2 socket) with stock heatsink and mobo Abit AN78-GS.
Before upgrade to large monitor, i use my 17" Dell monitor to play games at resolution1024x768 with out any problem.
After changing to 24" that support FullHD 1080P games... my pc always shutdown after a few minute while playing any game at 1080p resolution.
Gaming in lower resolution like 1024x768, no problem at all.
I've tried switch on the CPU temp. monitor and set 95 degree C for alarm to sound and 100 degree C to shutdown.
The result is... while playing game in 1080p resolution, the alarm sound and few minute after the it shutdown.
So... is my CPU already dying or I just need to change to a better CPU Cooling solution or change to new PC (CPU+mobo+ram)????
Need opinion you guys... thank you!

just added, my current pc in video :
