My computer has been crashing randomly for a while now but recently has become worse. Sometimes it can happen up to 8 times a day. I can be just sitting idol in desktop and it would just lock up completley. Ive tried a few things but it still happens
this is what i have done:
- I have replaced the PSU with a 450W (standard was 400W)
- Reseated the heat sink
- cleaned the RAM
- Cleaned everything with dust on it, the temp did drop a bit after that but didnt solve the prob
I'm thinking it might be the motherboard cause ive used the application called "MemTest" for the RAM and it comes up with no errors and my hard drive is in perfect working order
My system Specs are
P4 HT 3Ghz With Standard Heat Sync
ECS 945PL-A Motherboard
1 GB DDR2 533 Transcend RAM
6600 GT 128MB Ge force Card
250GB SATA II Hard Drive
System Temps at this present time are (and are usually on Idol) :
CPU: 47-53 C
GPU: 50 C
SYS: 26 C
HDD: 33 C
sometimes when im loading or playing games the cpu temp gets around 70-80 C and to me that sounds pretty high but i also heard that the HT processors automatically adjust there speed to the temp so in theory they shouldnt over heat, but thats what i herd so i could be wrong And by the way i am virus free so security isnt an issue
Anyones help will be greatly appreciated
