PC too hot - keeps crashing!

ok, im running a xp3200 in my 4th pc and its max load temperature does not exceed 50c. and it idles at around 32c so your cpu is runnig on the hot side.

if temps go over 65c at stock clock then you will experience crashes etc.
i advise you to check your cooling out and run snm to test it out properly.

ok cheers

whats snm?
 
What cooler are you using? Also does your board use both 20pin and 4 pin power connectors? If it only uses the 20 pin one then that can explain some of the funny voltage but not all of em. The chips are good for up to 85c but yes they will get unstable well before that.

Does the temp drop if you take side of case off? if so then airflow thru case could be a problem. lots of fans doesnt always mean good airflow as it depends if they are working together or just causing turbulance.
 
changed the graphics card today.

after feeling around inside i discovered the graphics card was well hot. its a Gforce 4 and has a small heatsink and fan but it hasnt crashed since i changed it.

the fan was quite clogged with dust and fluff and i havent tried it since i cleaned it.

if it doesnt crash anymore then im not putting it back in.
 
wasnt the graphics card :o

still keeps going off. took heat sink off to try and mount it better again, couldnt get it back on cos the clips are so ****.

slightly lost my temper, yelled and swore at it and then launched the heatsink and fan down onto the motherboard at high speed.

over heating is no longer the problem :o
