Answer» Quote from: BRONI on March 25, 2009, 07:02:44 PM Oh boy, your computer is hot. My oh my...You would not believe the clump of crap I just pulled out. I always spray my pc down with air every 2 weeks or so but what I just noticed on the hard to see side of my Zalman cpu cooler the build up was so enormous that air couldn't KNOCK it out. I discovered it with my finger just poking around. Needless to say my new reading are as follows Core0 50C core1 48C Would you further recommend me to take my Zalman cooler off and add some more arctic silver?The new READINGS are little bit better, but still way too high for idle desktop. I'd reapply the paste, from the scratch.BTW...you can use a small plastic handled brush to clean out what the air doesn't get...just be careful.

Well I got home today and sprayed every square inch of the computer again and knocked a bit more dust out. I also took the cpu cooler off to discover I was in need of ANOTHER shot of artic silver it was wore quite thin. So I applied a good bit of that on. I also changed the 120mm fan to push out hot air rather then pull in air. I noticed it was working against the zalman cpu cooler fan since they are right next to each other. They were just pushing air back and forth and not accomplishing anything. Here are my new readings Core 0 36C Core 1 37C Thanks again for the help! Very appreciated Those thank goodness are normal... Fire the Cat...and do the housekeeping about every 2 months.Nice GOING Well im sorry to say this hasn't solved my random rebooting. I just turned on my computer and it has done it again...This is getting discouraging. I really don't know where to look at this point. I have checked my device manager just now for any red or yellow entries and there is nothing of the sort out of place there. Is there any recommendations before I format? Overheating, definitely WAS one of your problems. I hope, it didn't cause any other damages, but for now... Did you follow patio's advice from reply #1? 1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. 2. Click the Advanced tab (Vista: click Advanced system settings). 3. Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings to open the Startup and Recovery dialog box. 4. Clear the Automatically restart check box, and click OK the necessary number of times. 5. Restart your computer for the settings to take effect. If so.... Navigate to: C:\Windows\Minidump folder. If you see any .dmp files, zip all of them, and attach zipped file to your next reply.

Yes I did uncheck that box he mentioned earlier. I cannot navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump it doesn't exist on my hard drive for some reason.See, if same thing happens in Safe Mode.sorry didnt think of that, was thinking that it was okay with temps. You should get more cooling. |
