probably got to do somethin with your motherboard. that problem happened to me too.

You shouldn't have that much anti-virus programs installed on your computer. Sometimes they tend to screw up my comps.

Check your cpu fan make sure it is running and also make sure the cpu is getting cooled enough.

And on some motherboards the chipset will have a heatsink or fan on it to cool it, also check it out.

Sounds like you have an over heating issue also some times if you have a vid card exhausting heat onto another card it can cause that vard to overheat.

Just go to this section of the site http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php and look for SpeedFan 4.27 and click on that, it will start to down load to what ever folder you pick. Once it is done just click on the exe and install it, read the "read me" file and now you have a program that will show you temps and fan speeds of your board, it dose allot more but don't mess with that other stuff if you don't know what you are doing... Don't worry you will get warning windows (the program can over clock your CPU and so on) for the stuff you shouldn't touch.

If you need more help let me know or just post here, but I am calling it a night.

FYI... This is just something for you to watch temps and fan speeds this will not fix any problem you are having with lock ups, but it will let you know if it is a temp problem by the readings it gives.

CPU heat
« Reply #12 on: January 24, 2006, 11:51:07 PM »
You can usually check the temp of the cpu in the bios.  Some MB's come with a utility so you can monitor the CPU temp you may wanna check the manual.  If all else fails when it locks up restart and go into the BIOS and quickly check the temp.  I don't know what kind of CPU you have but finding the temp range is usually pretty easy.  Bonehead may know more but I think it should be around 34C.  I also had a similar problem and as far as I know it was a conflict with my MB and an older video card. Here is a link for heat issues for an Intel P4.

Temps will drop over 25%+ before he ever gets back into the bios... If he keeps the program open that I sent him to, he will see high temps and warnings BEFORE it becomes a problem.
