I know everone probably asks the same question; "Is my CPU temp too high?" and I've got to ask the same question. *but I thinks that something is really wrong*
I've had to turn off Hyper-Threading b/c
My computer crashes/locksup whenever: The CPU is hotter than 45 C and I'm doing something graphic intensive. I can run anything else at a higher temperature and it doesn't "freeze up."
Specs:
intel P4 3.0Ghz
intel D865 perl
500w aspire PS
1gig ram
ATX
I suspect the high temp might be triggering a different problem that I don't know I have. I've got one of those Acrylic Clear UV cases, could that be messing it up? Those darn MB mounts didn't line up correctly, so I couldn't use all the mounts.
And, the graphics card is way older than the box, and it's the only thing that not "logo tested" by XP home.
I've got 5 fans, in this box excluding the heatsink fan. The Bios says its running 9 degrees hotter than what the temperature control module reads. But, isn't 50 something a safe temp for that CPU?
*Sorry for the long post*
