Random shutdown

The 44C cpu temp while certainly not a preferred temp by any means is not a sign of overheating while that is still high for a 3rd party cooler. If that's the idle temp you will want to look into the thermal paste/compound used as well as how much was applied. But besides any hardware problem a swift and sudden reboot of the system can often be a software glitch of some type. Does this happen while gaming or running any programs? Hopefully you are not seeing bad caps since the M2N-E model here had to be returned. It quite in 3 days! bad caps?

no it was getting restarts and then I just opened it up and saw that and plugged it back in the cpu temps are around 48c now it was just at 51c a min ago and the mobo is around 42c
and should my cooling fan be bringing air in or out cause I only have 1 120mm fan and its bringing air out right now

The fan at the rear of any case is always for exhaust of the heated air. You should see if that case has at least side or front vents if you can't mount a front or side intake fan. One thing found with the newer AMD as well as Intel P4 boards and on is the increased need to see board temps lowered. This iwll bring cpu temps down sharply.
With the 939 case now still in use until something on a new build sees correction the old case for a Socket A build was limited with 2 80mm rear and top fans there. The cpu ran at 44-46C while the new 939 board saw 46-48C as the idle temp. Everything was then moved into the AeroCool Aero Engine II model case with a 140mm front intake, rear 120, and 2 120s added on the side cover while not actually needed.
The board then saw and still sees about 30-31C. The cpu temp dropped to 32-33C idle. This was despite the Zalman CNPS 9500 installed. The key ingredient was simply increased air flow! While not being a heavy gamer I first look at gaming cases like the Antec Nine Hundred model for this reason. How about seeing 22C for the idle cpu temp?!

Is that 48 to 51C at idle, if it is thats to hot. I got rid of a 62 about 2 weeks ago and had it at idle at 32C and tops between 39 and 41C. Did you install the heatsink yourself?

that happened to be also. it could be linked to temperature, but mine wasn't. it was the voltage and power problems. due to lack of power because I run two Air conditioning at my apartment, the current couldn't give enough power to my system. Also I set my voltage too low, which made my computer turned off randomly. The funny thing is when I turn on CPU-Z, my computer turned off almost everytime. I don't know how everything is linked, but it happens on intel computers too. I;ve heard few stuffs about random turn offs on E6850.

yea I built the whole thing myself but its only a $20 heatsink and right now its 48c to 52c with only one IM, and 4 tabs open in firefox and about 23 items on the taskbar I think I might need a zalman or this http://www.xoxide.com/tuniq-t-120-hsf.html how much will that lower my temps? and btw this is the hfs I have
Yea thats kinda small for a 62 but it still should be cooler than that, did you use the stock compound that came on the cooler, if you did you could remove it and put some Artic Silver on it. It would probably drop it some. I use a Cooler Master Hyper TX on most of mine, does good for 30 buck cooler

idk wat I used it was some weird brand
I would get a better cooler and some Artic Silver, put alittle more than a grain of rice and spread it thin and even, should bring down the temp some. Dont know if thats whats causing it to restart. What voltage is the processor running at, most of the 62s I have done really like 1.4
One other thing besides rushing into a new cpu cooler even spending on either an Artic Cooling or Zalman model is to take a serious look at the air flow. You seem to have only one rear exhaust fan and nothing to bring cooler air into the case. You can have a Zalman or any other cooler on there and still see high temps due to a lack of air flow.
Once a board is adequately cooled other temps follow suit like seen with the 939 build here last year. From 48C down to 31C idle just by the additional cooling seen in a new case. That one seems very limited there. Without this given consideration water cooling becomes the more expensive method to see low cpu temps. Boosting the cooling by adding one or more 120mm fans would be the first thing.

Getting some cooler room air into the case will also help the rear fan blast out the warm air seeing a big help on lowering temps overall. When I put the 939 build and moved everything out of a compact two small fan deal into the AeroCool model seen at the link jere those high temps then saw a large drop fast. It made no difference what cooler was on the cpu at the time. Even the stock hsf would have seen a good drop.
The AeroCool model can be looked over at http://www.xoxide.com/aerocool-aeroengine-2-black.html When removing one of the two 120s off of the side cover and simply reversing the one remaining to clow air out from the side the cpu noticed a 1C drop for the average overall. Not much but! it shows how just arranging air flow to get air moving does make a difference.
The Antec case for the new build notices a bpard never seeing over 30C with the few days it was running. There seeing a good fan in the front will be the plus you need for that model case. Antec also has some great case fans if you shop around. Those come in blue, red, multicolor, and even green led when you can find those. Most vendors simply carry the blue led models.

what are u building?
The new build sees the Antec Nine Hundred model case put to work. That was first seen after having already moved everything into the AeroCool model. With the new case running with a faster dual core over single core cpu I will have a better work horse type build.
The present case will simply upgrade a family member out of an old Socket A build and allow for upgrades later in the same case since it still has good air flow. The load here is far more demanding on a system however. While I do game as a past time video capturing and other apps like multimedia now and then will chew up system resources faster. The case only needs a replacement board at the moment.

heres a screen shot of my pc probe
yea I might try getting another one of these I have one i hte back and it brings air out pretty good and since I have a front intake I might as well use it
Think your case has a 120 bottom front intake and a 120 back exhaust, you could swap out that side tunnel for a side intake fan. Your 62 is running 1.35 voltage, all the ones I have used I always set them to 1.4 but with your temps high already I would get the cooling down before raising the CPU voltage.

yea thats all stock didn't touch anything with the cpu settings I think the side thing is 80mm so I could stick a fan on there and then an intake fan in the front cause yea I have an 120mm intake place for a fan in the front and a 120mm exhaust where I have one already in the back and I don't want to screw with the settings on it yet cause I want to make sure that everything is working right so that way I can send it back if I need to
