Hi guys  hope you can help, computer keeps crashing,would the cpu temp,be responsible?.

System fan reads 0 rpm  cpu temp now is 73deg,last night read 93 deg,s, cpu is AMD XP2000,any explanations as to why the MB would go belly up after only 9 month,s? Just been replaced.Whats the normal temp for a CPU?

Im getting all kinds of  differnt messages, 1 minute it will start next minute nothing will load, any advice will be welcome, cheers lads.

hi done that, nothing ,s blocked the wires are rubbing against the case, of the fan, is that  normal? it seems to be ok at the moment ,but for how long I wonder.

Its the same fan i,ve had for a year now and never caused problems before.

Any solutions ?

93 degrees Centigrade equates to, lets see, (93 x 1.8) + 32 = 199.4 degrees Farenheit. Your CPU should've gone into convulsion. I would'nt take the chance. Get yourself a new CPU fan. They're not that expensive.

woah,93°C !!!!! 

you should get a new cooler...or a new CPU,if it continues getting so hot...

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You mean it's still alive!      AMAZING!!!

If your fan speed said 0 rpm, maybe it had stopped.

Don't just say, " oh I think it will be fine now...."

It really needs a careful checking over and leave the case side off for a while and listen to see if there is a power failure in the fan circuit even if you get a new fan.

You have probably already  damaged your cpu beyond repair, lets just hope your mainboard isn't stuffed as well.

It takes just a fraction of a minute to blow an AMD CPU with no fan running so get it fixed.

You might be lucky though, a friend and myself left the fan cable off an XP1800 for a few mins, it blackened the mo/board a bit , but the cpu lasted another 4 months!

93 degrees C is extremely high: Your Mother Board would melt down.

You are probably reading F degrees not Celcius or what ever you are reading your temps with is giving you miss information.

Normall operating temperature depends on a lot of factors. But should be in this range.

Ferinheit degrees

80 to 100 Safe
100 to 110 Alarm Zone
110 to 130 Danger you will create damage to your computer.

1. Type of case Plastic or aluminum. Is it well ventilated, number of fans, does your case have enough air flow to prevent a vacum on the inside of the case? If you have a vacum in the case it will collect more dust?

2. Aluminum cools faster.

3. Type of fans you have. I suggest PC Power and cooling. They have a web sight but I do not remember what it is.  Phone number is 760-931-5700 Carlsbad, CA.

4. Do not rely on software programs or digital readouts for internal tempretures. There often incorrect.
I recomend 110 Alert from PC Power and Cooling. It is an internal hardware item for about fifteen dollars.  Monitors the internal tempretures and when it reaches 110 F alarms go off and the computer will shut down. Very simple to install. You use a Y connector from the Power Supply.

Try cleaning the inside of your computer with oxygen at least once a month. dust creates a lot of problems.

Hope this helps

Good point Congo. I would recomend one of two things. One thing to try is get a small low powered hand vacuum and attatch the long narrow peice used for cleaning edges. Take a ball point pen and take out the ink cartrage. cut the opposite end off. Take the end with the larger hole stick it on the end of the edge cleaner and tape it in place. Now you can use the small holled end for percision vacuuming around delacate components. This is good for getting rid of dust.

Another way is to get the cans of compressed gas that you can get at Staples or any major office supply store. They contain some kind of compressed cleaning solution that is safe for electronics. Good for getting dust out of fans.

Thanks for the tips guys.Bought a new fan for the CPU,but its still running higher than id like ,reduced the core voltage to 100mzh should be 133 mzh .Dont like reducing the voltage , though its an AMD xp 2000+,id like full capacity.

When I run the cpu at 133mhz the temp goes up to about 60 to 64 ect  and i get problems,like i say just bought a new fan which should be good for a 3000 cpu .will try cleaning the damm thing and se what happens.Cheers guys any more advice would  be gratful.

helllooo my CPU runs at 120 degs Farenheit is that normal?? its an AMD 2600+ fast response would be nice so i dont Fu*k up my comp

Me again , the case is aliumium 1 side fan which extracts and another at the back also extracts ,its now 51C  at reduced voltage,and the cpu fan 3 in total.


Whats this about eplosions,sorry temp was 93C not farenheight,as soon as I increase the voltage to its full capacity,the temp increases,should I try turning the side fan round so it blows air in instead of out?

Temps are according to AIDA, maybe I should throw it in the fridge for a while Eh.Can anyone suggest a better fan as I will want to upgrade the CPU to something bigger depending on my budget.
