k pc all of a sudden just started overheating like mad... hangs at boot (sometimes) speedfan is giving me 48c/117f idle it used to be a lot lower than that im not sure what (of course). also is this considered overheating? im asuming it is because the computer hangs and heat is higher than normal... but anyway im running a crappy coolermaster aquagate LCS and it all of a sudden just started to overheat... went from about 89f to 135f on the North Bridge b4 i could pull the plug. (side note temp sensor will not fit under waterblock so its wrapped around the northbridge). what could be happening? i know prescott supposidly can handle high temps but it will not run anything but firefox for more than a few minutes... then hang.... PC NOT overclocked at all... anything i can try? have already flushed system and checked for airbubbles.
is there a great aircooler that is also rather cheap that will keep this beast cool? also northbridge? active cooler? please help this thing will barely run!!
