A friend of mine is facing this problem.
Screen Freezes CPU Overheating?
Im struggling to determine a problem of mine. Recently I recieved a fatal CPU temprature message in my BIOS when my system was starting I thought nothing of it switched my machine off and came back to find it working alright. However a few weeks down the line now I am finding my system is freezing or so it seems. My screen will freeze the current picture, sound will stop. Therefor I can still see the state of the crash. However outbound MSN connections remain intact and my CD drive still opens and closes. To this I think it could be an overheating problem.
Checking my cpu temp running P4 Intel 3.21Ghz im on 57*C and using 0.07% CPU usage. My case is open, well venitlated and I have vacumend my case clean, removed my heatsink and and dust.
Could it simply be a problem of a lack of thermal paste, OR could it be a graphics card problem. I cannot determine!
Any help is apriciated!
