Sounds buggered, get a core duo, by the time you've fucked with fault finding you might as well have just bought some new ----.
If you have a motherboard with POST code support you might be able to analyse the fault, but given the age of the PC its doubtful.
And AMD cores generally run hotter due to their reliance on overclocking an older core design. The core duo's we use now are not only 2x as fast as the AMD dual core equivalent (in benchmarking and running our software), but run cooler and seem more reliable.
