Hey everyone!
My old PC starting shutting down randomly. I couldn't figure out what was causing it, I changed PSU, the CPU, HDDs almost everything except mother board but nothing changed. then I checked temperature monitor and CPU temp was running high, it was up to 90c idle. default BIOS settings was set to shut PC down at 85c. so I turned it off. PC was only shutting down when tying to install Windows (any windows) at the stat when Windows is copying files. I got a new 775 cooler and now the Idle temp is 60c. in windows and when CPU is busy its going up to 80c. Cooler is new and pretty sure Iv installed it corectly. but the temperature is too high anyway. let me give you specs of my PC
CPU - Intel Celeron 356 (Prescott) (775LGA), Core Speed 3.06ghz
Mobo - Microstar MS-7211
not using on board VGA, Although I wanted to turn on board VGA off but I couldn't find that option in BIOS. anyway I'm using XFX GF 7300GT 512 MB
x2 HDD IDE 400gb + 80gb (80gb went crazy I can only see 30 gb atm, i tried partition magic but it didnt help, it can only see 30 gb) and this happend because of this shut downs.
DVD RW
CD RW
2GB RAM
Thanks in advance.
