Overheating problem

[Sui]

I give up, go take your PC to someone who knows what the **** they're doing...... or maybe hook an air line to your head to blow the crap off your brain.

when ur computer "overheats" whats happens, does it lag or just restart or shut down?

 

[underworld288]

it just shuts down, then restarts itself

My computer was doin that too but i found out it was a driver problem (before it shut down a blue screen flashed really quick so i taped it with my camcorder then tried to read it), i just updated my video card driver and now everything works (well sortof..... my mobo company has video card issues tahts why i'm upgradin soon). Try updatin drivers (mostly video card).

ok i figured this thing out, it's my video card that is overheating. I play COD2 before i started playing it the card was running at 39*C, and i played for about 5min. and the temp. shot up to 52*C.

does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks

52 is fine for a GPU, mins hits 66 occasionslly, GPUs can withstand a much higher temp.

to me it sounds like CPU thing, if it errored in P95.

back me up on this people, but you may want to try upping to core voltage to stabalise it. find out what it is set to at the moment, by looking in the bios, under advaced chipset features. have you overclocked it?

 

[underworld288]

in the BIOS i set the core voltage to +.05 because i overclocked the
CPU from 2.20GHz to 2.64GHz

That error means your overclock is way to high, or you have bad ram/cpu....

what would u recommend i put my CPU at to still have it overclocked, but not to high.
