pc overheating and freezing pls help

[ozmastero]

Ive applied it properly and still same problem it overheats all fans working does anyone have an idea??

[scouse58]

what size is the power supply is that big enough to run everything else you got in the machine? how old are the parts? you say you did an up grade did you install new hardware too or keep the old stuff.

What are the specs of the machine too every little helps.

Hi mate

i upgraded to windows 7 pro. Its a newish system i was using the older windows due to preferance.

Output power is 450w

motherboard is gygabyte ga g41mt 3d
1tb hard drive
4gb ram
Asus graphics card

intel pentium processor

totaly puzzled

Also check your graphics card isn't the problem. If it has a fan, check if its working or try a different card temporarily.
Try a different hard drive, u may have errors or overheating there...also check connectors.
Reseat your ram or try 1 stick at a time.
Eliminate your suspicions one step at a time.
If all else fails you could have a fault on your motherboard.
Good luck.

Its the cpu thats overheating mate for some reason

fan works perfect and now ive put the thermal paste

confused

[HypaSnypa]

Ok.
Are you overclocking the cpu?
What temperatures are you getting?

If u have a stock cpu fan maybe u should think about getting an aftermarket one better suited for heavy loads.

I am yes mate, it gets to 80 degrees then freezes to avoid overheating,

but I dont understand why this is happening just now??

At a guess i would say its something to do with the cpu running at 80 degrees......................

I would upgrade your heatsink m8 to something like this check link...............

Cooler master v8 cpu heatsink / fan | eBay

how much have you o'c your cpu by? do it slowly and test it each time mine's a AMD 3 core unlocked to 4, stock speed is 3.1g won't go above 3.5gig if it does it reboots the system and resets it back to stock speed, and yea change your fan too

[Hoppy01]

A know this sounds obvious but make sure the heatsink is flush on the cpu and the right way round mate.
Even if its a ball hair out its still enough to overheat the cpu, you would be suprised at how a tiny offset can create dire performance problems.
At least modern cpu's have good thermal protection, a remember not seating an old Athlon correctly, it survived for 5 seconds before frying itself.

[jimbowarner]

have you any readings from temperature sensors in pc? A pic of inside of case might be useful. Full system specs would also be nice, dont fancy reading through another topic.

download and post the readings from this CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting

ive bought freezer 13 from ebay and this has made it not freeze as quick but still doing it

really confused...
