No it stays running. I wish I could figure this out because it starting to get on my nerves. Ive never had this much trouble with a computer before. Ive sent the motherboard back once already with this same problem, and I got a new one back but still haveing the same problem. Im going to buy a new video card AGP style and see if that will fix it. If it doesnt then Ill have to call them and find out how they exactly test these systems. Like what card they use and what ram they are running in there systems.
