An AMD processor takes less than 5 seconds to overhead. Thus... a head problem can occur RIGHT at startup.

What gear are you sporting?
I do have an AMD processor, it's pretty old, an athlon xp 1600+. I suppose it could be the processor, but I don't see why it would start happening now after not ever doing it for over a year. The fan works fine. Just took everything apart earlier today and cleaned it all out and it's still being a bitch.

Also, when my computer is booting it stops when checking the real clock speed of my processor, which I guess could point another finger at it.
So this baby seal walks into a club.

Because lots of people here have a good base knowledge of computers, if not more.

And yes, it could very well be the processor overheating. Wheck your CPU temp in bios during startup. If it's really fucking high, then that's your problem. You can always just get a BIG motherfucking CPU fan like I did.

Did you put thermal paste between the heatsink and CPU? If not, that could be an issue. Invest the $7 it costs to get some Arctic Silver 5 off newegg or wherever, and put a dime-sized blotch of it in the middle of the processor. Apply heatsink, and the paste will ooze out the edges over time. This can reduce heat by 5-7 degrees C.

Well my computer just crashed, so on the restart I checked the temperature, only 98 F. I'll try getting a friend to lend me his processor and swap that in there, if the problem doesn't happen I'll know what it is. If it's not the processor I'll probably get a new power supply.
