Computer reboots

jamoor · 5 Dec 2007 at 13:15

My computer just randomly shut down for the second time.

Is there any way of finding out why? I noticed the computer started running a little slower and then shut down

its an abit ip35e
2 gig ram
core duo processor
windows xp sp2

it may be overheating, is there a software that allows you to check temps?

You can use coretemp or Intel Tat to monitor your temps, or simply boot into the bios and there should be a page that lists the temps and voltages, leave it sitting on that page for a while and see how high it gets.

If you can stay in windows long enough then use CoreTemp.

Have you made any changes recently?

coretemp seems to show 98 degrees and t junction 100 deg

is that high?

yes, very high. It sounds like a temps issue. Are you sure your CPU fan is still spinning? You could also try reseating the HSF

gone up to 125 now and the computer has slowed down a little, strange...

any ideas what it could be?

I would turn it off rather than watching the temperature rise

I should edit the spelling mistake in your first post before a passing Mod gets grumpy.

Glad to hear the problem is solved though!

PK!
