Chromepro Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Basically, I would be doing some kind of process intensive job and the screen would freeze for a second or two then shut down with no shut down window...This happens way to frequently now and I need to know how to correct this. I must say this has been happening a lot since my Overclocking experiments, and my cpu runs very hot now even with the fan all the way. I'm getting readings of like 30-50 now, instead of 15-30... Right now I have not been overclocked in a long time..my specs are in the sigSomeone help me correct this or at least tell my computer not to shut down on it's own because of temperatures because i know how messed up the brisbane cores are.

-pops- Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Overclocking doesn't usually cause problems like this after returning to normal running unless either some damage has been done to the CPU which is now causing it to overheat or that some physical changes have been made to your setup. Did you move/change/replace any heatsinks? Are all the fans working correctly and blowing in the right direction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 The CPU fan should blow on to the CPU. Rear case fans should blow out of the case and be placed at a high position, front case fans (if attached) normally blow into the case and should be located at a low position (usually blowing on to the hard drive(s)).Are the heatsinks free from dust? It always surprises me that even small amounts of dust can seriously affect the efficiency of cooling systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromepro Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 could it be the motherboard or RAM causing these issues? Or is it a software thing?Because it happens so often now it's ridiculous, i had to go out and buy a laptop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dencandy Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Event Viewer (Control Panel > System Management) will give you some clues about the causes of this. Also if you close Re-start after system failure, instead of a re-start you will get a message on the screen indicating the cause of the shut down. Please post again if you don't know how to do these things.Frequently these sort of sudden shutdowns occur after uninstalling programs but an instruction stills remains in the system to start it. If the sysstem can't find it you then often get a crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im using an amazing fan on it and it won't stay cool. How do I check which components are causing this problem? Is there a stress test that will tell me?Basically, I would be doing some kind of process intensive job and the screen would freeze for a second or two then shut down with no shut down window...This happens way to frequently now and I need to know how to correct this.

I think my cpu is messsed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dencandy Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I imagine that your CPU is not the appropriate one for the rest of your set-up. Sorry, I don't have the necessary technical knowledge to advise you on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 -pops- may be able to advise you on the hardware side of things, i.e. what to check with overheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromepro Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Thanks for the response.How do I contact pops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 It looks to me as if you need to renew the thermal compound between the CPU + Heatsink ?http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/274if that is replaced, + the CPU fan is working properly check that your fan is fitted as shown here ?and you still get the problems .......... then as -pops- said earlier the fault will probably lie within the CPU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I think Boris is on the right path. If there has been any disturbance to the mounting of the heatsink on the CPU, this can result in all sorts of overheating difficulties. Have you removed the heatsink at any time?
