First things Firsts, I'm a new builder so maybe I did something wrong.

My build:

AMD 64 4000+ 939 socket
2 Gig Corsair ram (TWINX2048-3200PT)
BFG 6800 GTOC
Ausu A8N-SLI Deluex Motherboard
Antec 480 Watt Power Supply
SoundBlaster audiogy 2

My Problem:

During normal use (word, internet exploring, chatting, etc) my computer works without major problems except for internet explore, which locks up after awhile of use. Then when I put my computer under a load, playing video games, my computer will restart. However, by restart I mean my monitor turns black and I get post beeps 1 long and 2 short and it requires me turning my computer off/on again to be able to use my computer.

Could something be overheating?

Any advice would be very helpful,

Jared

Well find out ahat the beep code means in your manual. And check the temps on bios, alot of boards will come with the temperature monitoring software for windows.

the beep code means there was an error that occured but couldn't be displayed on the monitor.

My cpu temps seems to be around 32C idle and 40C underload, my video card is 58C idle and 80C under load

I think your gfx card is overheating and has either fried ir shut down to protect itself from the excesive heat. You can get a new cooler for the card.
