uh, i dont think thats right 85C? i think it will be melting by now. you might want to flash the bios. does that say the exact same thing in the bios? try speedfan or MBM5

 

[harobikes333]

um i donno really

i just came over to my friends house and he said that his computer
^the one i'm using right now<==is shutting down randomly

but then i opened the asus probe and it said that !

 

[PZEROFGH]

Make sure all your fans are working...and how hot is the room you are in?

Well right now I'm back at my house<== they don't overclock their computer..... But they had someone build it so I don't really know what all is under the hood besides a 3gig processor from intel and 512 ram

no graphics card, asus motherboard.... and i don't know wat kind of psu

They hadn't even defragmented their computer so ......ya.. they wouldn't try to overclock....<==I'm basicly their free computer tech lol, a bad one at that....:\

There power fan was off... I think a fan must have died mabe

And PZEROFGH, what do you mean reset the bios..? How do I do that and why would I do that

Also do I need to just take off the case cover and turn on the computer and see if all the fans are running?

If it is a cpu fan then what should I do or what should they do

yes, do this and post back with your findings. check the psu fan, cpu, case(s), gpu.

also, install pcwizard and tell us what the temps are!

 

[harobikes333]

Alrighty ty I'll do it when I go over there either some time today or tomorrow<==They have two computers so its not like they are screwed completely

update!!!!


Ok i got over to their house

Opened their computer and they have the cpu fan and a case fan and a psu fan all 80cm i think.....

All where working

But there was alot of dust on it...... but his dad said that he blew it off......<---i didn't argue....

So i also installed the pcwizard... what should i do with it and show u?

 

[vaderpro]

Open pcwizard and check temps. Bottom, right icon...copy and paste the temps etc....also if it looks dusty, esp the fans, get some compressed air and clean it WELL.

 

[PZEROFGH]

you can also go to processor and theres temp

well sense they arent doing any OCing you dont need to clear the cmos
