If you are suffering from crashing then it could be down to over heating.
What you need is an old usb printer cable and PC fan.
Cut the usb cable, to reveal some silver cables, remove these as there not needed.
We only require the red and black power cables, the other two are used for data, and not needed.
Connect the fan`s red and black power cables to the usb lead and insulate so that no metal wire`s are showing.
The usb port is located under the HDD bay. I attached the fan to the HDD holder with cable ties
Hopefully this should stop your 800 from over heating and crashing.
You should not really have to do this on a £400 box!!!
