Hi all,

Been having a problem with my PC, first COD4 was stuttering, someone suggested I check temps, while checking temps my PC is just stopping dead from anywhere from 30 mins to 2 hours even when doing nothing.

Code:
Session start:	19:55:51, July 7, 2008
CPUID:		0x20F32
Processor:	AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ (Toledo)
Revision:	JH-E6
Time & Date	CPU	Temperature	Low temp.	High temp.	Core load	CPU Speed
19:55:52 07/07/08	CPU#0 (Core#0):	28	28	29	2	2211.34
19:55:52 07/07/08	CPU#0 (Core#1):	39	39	41	2	2211.34
19:55:53 07/07/08	CPU#0 (Core#0):	27	27	29	3	2211.34
19:55:53 07/07/08	CPU#0 (Core#1):	40	39	41	3	2211.34

temp log from just before shut down
Code:
21:05:46 07/07/08	CPU#0 (Core#0):	30	0	48	44	2211.34
21:05:46 07/07/08	CPU#0 (Core#1):	42	0	96	5	2211.34
21:05:47 07/07/08	CPU#0 (Core#0):	28	0	48	2	2211.34
21:05:47 07/07/08	CPU#0 (Core#1):	40	0	96	5	2211.34

Am I reading this correctly? it looks as though Core#1 is having some serious temp issues while Core#0 is fine.

I have cleaned the PC out, it is now dust free, I have reapplied thermal paste and turned the Akasa EVO 130 fan up to full and it is still doing it.

Can you get diagnostic programs for CPUs? I really can't afford to spend money on new components right now so any help is very gratefully received :)

Is it also normal for a core to be constantly changing from a 0% load to a 41% load and back again every other second despite not doing anything with the PC?

EDIT: I have been running this PC fine for 2 years without a problem with overheating. Also, the fan is working, it makes quite a bit of noise and I can feel the draft on my hand. I have also taken the side off the case. No joy :(
