Solve : Some big problems? |
|
Answer» My computer has just recently started acting up in a BIG way. first off, turing it on is a pain. sometimes the monitor doesnt come on and the computer doesnt sound like it boots all the way at all. then when i do get it on the BIOS comes up saying i have inproper CPU settings. I have reverted all the settings back to default and this problem wont stop. Well thanks anyway for the help, i apperciate it. Everything seems to be running just fine right now... I just mentally pictured that... that would be one heckuva half-minute! Quote from: Bobandabit on March 29, 2007, 11:51:49 AM I am honestly perplexed by this whole thing, I am kinda computer adept and have gotten though werider problems than this...i just cant think what would cause it other than my processor going a little funky. That's what I think happened, actually. I obviously am not certain, but I think that your processor is either malfunctioning... or overheating. The second seems more likely, actually; it sounds like it would cause all those errors, AND would screw up the sound made when booting. Check your heatsink. Seriously. You may be slowly (or rapidly) cooking your motherboard. EDIT: If it is your heatsink, don't log on to tell us; replace the cooler ASAP. If you don't have a way to get a reading on system temperatures, download SpeedFan and install it. It will also show some voltage info on many systems. So, take a look at that info, too; look at it at different times and see whether you observe some fluctuation in voltages. If you have ever overclocked the CPU, now would be an excelent time to set it back to its normal speed and power settings. Over time, CPU's that are overclocked, ware out. The more overclocked, the faster that ware. Are all of your fans working? (Specifically the PSU fan, and the CPU Heatsync, and at least one main computer fan) If you leave the computer off for a few hours, and then turn it on, does it work better? When was the last time you ran Scandisk? Part of what you are describing may be caused by a disk error. Also: Enter your BIOS, and dissable the "quick system diagnostics" so that it will do a full memory test. i think this has to do with an overheat problem. I will e going to the store tomorrow to buy some new fans and heatsinks hopfuly. the CPU is not overclocked to my knowlage, and as i said i have reverted the settings to normal everytime bios came up automaticaly. The PSU and CPU fan work perfectly...the PC fan, now there is a little odd... I acctualy had to manualy start it spinning...when it started it was ok from then on...definalty getting that replaced. I ran scandisk yesterday, only one erorr that was fixed. the problem started in the morrning when i switched it on, i turned it off agan to go to college (about 4 hours turne dof) So, no on that one i guess. will do that BIO thing asap. I dont think i'd have so many problems with heating if my room wasnt such a freaking microclimate...basicly all the pipes in the house pass around my room. uncomfortably warm in winter, too hot to breath in summer. Thanks for all the help guys.Quote from: Bobandabit on March 29, 2007, 04:15:53 PM i think this has to do with an overheat problem.

Quote The PSU and CPU fan work perfectly...the PC fan, now there is a little odd... Definitely.

That may have something to do with it. If you know a local computer whiz (there's a clique of them in every college ), he may be able to help install another fan for the PC, if that becomes necessary. Quote Thanks for all the help guys. For my part, you're welcome. Im not so sure if it us overheating thats doing all this now... the computer was off all night, when i turned it on, i have the smae problems as yesterday... unless ive already screwed my processor? also,. any pointers as to why it would only be a few programs that didnt work? they are some of the more im[rpatnt apps i use, but still...alot more run perfectly. Edit: Left the comp off for a hour, made sure room was really cold...just checked heatsink, thats freezing. Same problems. |
