Okay, I really don't know what's wrong! When I first switch on my PC everything is fine.. I can do anything without any problems. It seems to only happen when I play games. After a good few hours of gaming my PC just dies and reboots, so I start up a game again and maybe 15 minutes later it does the same. Eventually I just get a "Overclocking failed" messege (it isn't even overclocked). I just downloaded a driver for my motherboard and when I restarted it said "CPU fan error"

this is what I have-

Asus K8SV SE
Athlon 64 3200+
1gb Ballistix (not too sure the exact name)
550w PSU
Nvidia FX 5900XT 128mb

What could be the problem?? I had this problem before with my last PC.. it's getting annoying! Thanks for any help you can give
 
The PC is a few years old and it's not second hand.


The fan is running and as far as I know it's never stopped.. I'm not sure if it's running at the right speed. How do I check what speed it is, and what speed it should be?

And I just rechecked, it wasn't a driver for my motherboard >_< It was an AMD Athlon 64 driver for windows that "allows the system to automatically adjust the CPU speed, voltage and power combination that match the instantaneous user performance need."

Thanks for the quick replies
 
Thanks, I used to have speedfan before but I forgot about that!

Hmm that's not looking too good. I'm not sure why it says Fan1: 0RPM.. I just checked and both are working fine
