Answer» Well, tho all of your fans may be working it may still be to much heat. have you checked the temperature? If you dont know how to do this you have to restart your computer and press (default: DEL) to enter the setup, then you shuld look for the PChealth option. This option is usual found in the list that apear when you press del but if not it shuld be under some of the other things in the list, just try your way there, if you cant find it then let me know and ill see what i can do.
I have experienced many computers with this problem that actually just had a lach of cooling. You got a powerfull computer and it requires alott of cooling. If your computer is too hot this may be solved in several ways:
1) limit its air supply, yeah you heard me ;P if you got some openings placed too close to the fan that blows the cold air in, it may be that much if this air goes out of that opening. And yes, i have seen a computer that had this problem and we solved it with some paper and tape. By closing one opening placed on the right side of the fan (seen from behind the PC) with some paper we solved the problem.
2) Get more Fans, and make shure the airstream goes trough the computer, and not just out in the middle, some fans pulling the air out is good too.
3) What you shuld do if your getting tired is to called the ones you bought the computer off and tell em that they gave your computer too little cooling. but if you build it yourself, then skrew that
4) WATER cooling system is your last option, if that dont do the trick, nothing ever will.
well, it might be a lach of power as said above too, how much is your power supply on now?Hello,
Thanks for your responses.
I can’t really just borrow a Power Supply from anyone, but if no easier possibilities arise I’ll send the computer back to the shop to get my Power Supply tested or replaced.
PC Wizard 2006 gives me these temps: Processor Temp: 21C GPU Temp: 46C GPU Ambient: 41C
I’m not sure about limiting the air like that, but I didn’t build my PC myself, I bought it from Tigerdirect, so I assume the fans were thought out by professionals, but in any case, I have 2 fans on the inside, not by openings, 1 fan on the facing side, by an opening, and 1 big fan in the back, by an opening, 4 in all, 2 by openings, 2 not. If you have a suggestion for which of the two openings I should cover based on that info, I’ll try that.
As for adding fans or water cooling, I’ll ask the shop about that if I can’t get a simpler solution DETERMINED first.
As for how much my Power Supply is on now, how do I check that?
Any further help would be great. ThanksYour temps are fine. See Post #12...

MrMark, i know you're trying to assist but suggesting a water cooled solution is PROBABLY not a good place to start... that's quite drastic and not economical for most average users.
ok, then... well, got to agree there, tempatures is fine hmm... well, just got to keep trying to find out what it is m8, ill let you know if i get any idea what i it might be.download and run CPU-Z(its free) http://www.majorgeeks.com/download425.html Have a look at the Vcore voltage, run a virus scan or somthing to get the processor busy then check the Vcore voltage and watch for large fluctuations. It will be 1.XXX volts (mines 1.376volts, your's will be slighty different depending on the model), the third decimal can vary, even the second decimal a TINY bit, but if the first decimal is jumping around your power supply is junk and is not providing stable enough voltage to keep the cpu happy. Another program to try is SPEEDFAN (its free) http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=337 Run it and check the +12v reading, Speedfan is a little inaccurate so dont be alarmed when you see 11.4volts on the +12v line, but be very worried if it reads in the 10 to 9volt range for the +12volt. Pay no attention to the -12v reading its not used anymore.my computer does that too email me at [emailprotected] if you can help me. :-?It's best to start your own thread so it recieves the proper attention...
You should also edit out your e-mail addy unless you are interested in *censored* or fake Rolex watches...
BTW Welcome Aboard.Special offers from Nigeria are coming your way even as we speak....have you tried to use the windows cd to repair windows? heart about someone that solved the same problem that way just boot from the cd and choose to repair windowsHello,
It’s been a while since I posted about this rebooting issue my computer had, but I thought I should return and let you know what it seems the problem and solution turned out to be, after I got it fixed at a computer shop, in case it helps people who end up experiencing the same issue or are helping others with the same issue.
It seems the fix to the rebooting issue was two things: 1) The computer has to be plugged directly into a wall outlet, not through one of those multiple-plug thingies. (just the main computer plug, not necessarily the monitor plug or anything else that needs plugging-in) 2) I’m guessing this was the more important one: Using an Aerosol can (from Wal-mart or something), which blows air, shut the computer down and then blow out the dust in the ‘heat sinks,’ which are the lines behind the fans that look like this: |||||||||| but remember that the dust will fly out everywhere. Blow out the dust anywhere else you can, but these ‘heat sinks’ are crucial, as well as any other areas that look like |||||||||, such as by the video card. Do not use a normal vacuum for cleaning dust, as you may mess something up, just the Aerosol can.
Hope this helps anyone, and thanks again to everyone who tried to help me.Glad you are all fixed up and thanx for posting back.
Stop by anytime...
