Re: Faulty pc

or it could be ............KNACKERED!!

Re: Faulty pc
 

go into bios settings and look under where it says cpu temp

leave it running for a few mins and keep an eye on teh temperature while you are still in the bios screen ( do not boot windows)

post back your results in celicius and if possible the size of your processor like athelon 2200 for example

if your starting to hit near 40%c and above then its most likely your cpu/processor not been cooled down enough and a simple cpu fan exchange may be all u need

or your power supply is faulty and not getting enough power to the cpu fan to make it spin fast enough to cool down

thats my thoughts anyway

Re: Faulty pc
 

40 degrees C is cool even for an athlon, modern CPUs run up to 85 degrees

it could be a crack on teh motherboard, have you fitted anything new recently? Memory/gfx card etc?

Unfortunately these type of problems can be a real pain to resolve and usually need swapping out of components to find the faulty one.

Re: Faulty pc
 

my cpu was getting up to 65+ degrees and it would shut down (but I seem to remember setting a limit in bios)the PC would not restart until it had cooled down. I found playing vids or tunes would really heat it up....downloaded something that told me my cpu fan was 0 zero! but if yours cuts out after a few seconds?

Re: Faulty pc
 

could someone please translate the last 3 posts for me??

Re: Faulty pc
 

This maybe to late to be any help but my yesterday my PC started closing down a couple of minutes after restarting... I looked in task manager (ctrl+alt+delete) checked performance and for some reason the cpu was running at 100% usage !... did a system restore to earlier date and now its OK... don't know why it was running at 100% ...I was not using any applications.
