My computer overheats and shuts off when i load the cpu (running 3d games like AOE III, and Sims) on windows 2000. I was running win xp x64 bit but i had shutoff problems with it just running apps like media player and cool edit plus my OS was crashing every weak do to a bad HD so i decided to go back to 2000 (never had a crash from it). But what got me is I never had a problem with games like FEAR on the 64 bit, but thats old news. I need help with this heat problem.
I have EVEREST Home edition it reads my temps as:
Motherboard
29 °C (84 °F) Gigabyte GA-K8N Pro-SLI
CPU
70 °C (158 °F) AMD Athlon 64, 3000+
Hitachi HDS722525VLAT80
33 °C (91 °F)
Seagate ST340016A
33 °C (91 °F)
these are the temps just running internet exploer and everest
task manager reads 2-4% cpu usage
I have 2 80mm case fans now im thinking about adding 2 more.
1- 80mm
1- 120mm
and getting a new heatsink. Do you think that will fix my problem?
