Computer keeps shutting down

saad · 02-18-2008, 12:02 AM

Sorry again, umm I looked into the NTLDR thing and apparently it was just the hard disk wire that needed tightening. I ran that program you said and here's the temperatures it gave me.
Processor 96 degrees
Maiboard 36 degrees
Power/Aux 36 degrees
Hard disk 29 degrees
all are in Celsius

hey

i have come across a problem like this before my self. theproblem was i had a virus in the boot file and every so often it would shut down it got to the stage it would boot and shut down instantly never ending cycle. maybe scan with a AV...

if it doesn't work then i could maybe take a look into it and give you another possibly solution.

Umm I tried that, it seems the problem is the temperature because the Processor is reaching temperatures of 96C

those cpu temps are waaaay to high.
double check if there is any dust in your fan and in the cooling block below it.

you could try to reapply thermal paste if the above doesnt work.

oscaryu1 · 02-18-2008, 01:42 PM

96C? Damn! Isn't the CPU supposed to auto-shutdown at like 80C or so?

Don't start your computer until you solve that overheating problem

RoveWolf · 02-18-2008, 02:19 PM

Surprised your CPU hasn't melted through your motherboard running at that temp lol. Yes normally it's around 70 - 80C for the auto shutdown. I would most definitely reseat (remove and replace) the CPU, before putting the CPU cooler back on, take that apart and blow every little spec of dust from within the fans and cooling frame, re-paste it and replace it. It might be worth buying a new heatsync however get one or two other temperature monitoring programs and see if they read around the same temps as not every temp program is accurate.

What CPU are you using by the way? If it's any of the Core 2 - series then use TAT for temp reading too. But I am amazingly surprised that the temps are that high for your CPU.

Yea I was pretty sure that 96C was way too high. I think I've got the problem, because the heat sink is sparkling clean after I took it all apart, and theres not a spec of dust but I noticed the thermal paste below the heat sink came off, so I'm guessing the heat sink isn't making full contact with the processor? Btw. I'm using an Intel Celeron something it's not a dual core.

Vipernitrox · 02-18-2008, 04:24 PM

there's your problem. give it a run to some local computer store and get some thermal paste (arctic silver is preferable)
take of the hsf, reapply the thermal paste and reseat the hsf.
after that you'll probably be fine, be sure to check the temps to see if you've done it correctly.

RoveWolf · 02-21-2008, 10:41 AM

Indeed, most definitely go get some thermal paste as soon as possible and I wouldn't advise you using the computer again until you do as running at those temps surely can't be healthy for it. Just remember not to put too much or too little on when you do re-apply it as you may have the same problem with it.

cpu temps are too high. even if ambient temps are high.

when you cleaned your pc how did you do it? ideally you should power off, yank out the cord, and use COMPRESSED AIR. focus at the fan and specifically the heatsink.

your other temps are ok.
