CPU-Z Screenshot... help?

Is the problem with the computer in your sig or another comp?? Do you have that 7900GT?? If so, I don't know what the problem is, a 7900GT is a very good video card.
 
Man, nVidia traitor :D (Shouldn't be speaking :D)

Look VERY closely at that picture. It says E6600, so I'm inclined to say that it is his sig rig.

StepSpeed/Speedstep decreases the frequency, thus decreasing the speed. Once needed at 100%, it will rise again. Here's a lil article:

That's interesting... umm. How do I turn it off now? hahaha :-/

I followed the instructions to turn it on for WinXP. But I didn't see anything to turn it off in BIOS.

But now that i'm thinking about it. If it cranks up the frequency as soon as I load a program or something to that effect. What is the benefit of leaving the frequency cranked all the time?

Leave me alone! :P jk! Didn't you also have an Nvidia card before the HD3850?? like an FX5200 or something... :rolleyes::D

You know, I just wanted to try something new ;)
 
Really? (Traitor... So am I :D:D)

You seem like a smart dude... for some reason my temps go SKYYYY high all of a sudden. Never did it before. Then the computer restarts and no issue. This will happy randomly. Have yet to figure out a pattern.
 
Is your thermal paste applied correctly, is your case clean, does you case have good ventilation?

Most probably it is something like that, however the fact that it all of a sudden jumps elludes me.

PC has been running since last September. I blow dust out of it quite often with a can of air.

It was fine through the night. I get home from work, restarted. I'm guessing cuz of the same symptoms.

Right now it's @ 33c and system is at 38c

EDIT: I didn't check temps for a couple minutes or so but the PC reset itself while surfing the internet. Started back up... no issues. What the hell could this be?!

Hmm, I've been thinking... Download PC Wizard 2008 and look at your voltages, then if possible, downclock to the stock speeds. My brain tells me that you might be getting too low voltages, or possibly that loading IE may have jumped SpeedStep, thus increasing clock, and SOMEHOW, it might've overheated...
