Hi guys.
I just bought me a new computer. It's bloody awesome, except I think it's overheating too quickly.
I have a Gigabyte G-Power Pro Cooler (GH-PDU21-MF) on my AMD Athlon64 x2 6400+ - the cooler fan spins at 2120RPM average, and the CPU on IDLE in bios goes up to about 105 degrees celsius.
The computer simply shuts off after a few minutes when I start doing anything special like putting in XP / Vista to install. Currently I am out of ideas other than to increase the cooler's RPM - but I want to see some other options first considering I need to go through a tedious case-opening process to change the rpm (not just opening case, but flipping open the front panel and possibly taking out dvd burner).
Thanks guys

PS: Sorry, I also have another problem, this time with my old computer. My hard-drive doesn't seem to be working, and this is extremely worrying because all my very important work is on there. I took it out of the computer so I could unscrew something for my new system to take it out. Now, I can't screw it back in but I've managed to put it in a place where it won't move around too much. When I put the IDE Cable back in and the power supply, it comes up a disk read/boot error, *press enter*. I think it doesn't detect it - but if I plug in the other plug of the IDE cable, it detects it and then just waits at the screen that shows the list of controllers, and has a flashing pointer.
