CPU temp?

[JuNGleR72]

Hi,

Last night my computer turned off by itself multiple times.
I was checking in the set up page and noticed that the
CPU temp. was at 102 degrees celsuis.

Is that normal??

It was hilighted red too.

The self reboot started when I pluged in my LCD Mon.
Could this be the cause of it??

Before I was using a CRT mon. and have never experienced this before.

Your help is very much appreciated..

102 is WAY high. Under extreme load for a good period of time, you might hit that. The self reboot might have been the system shutting down due to heat.

Plugging in a LCD shouldn't cause that.

102 is way too hot, even for a cpu under load.

And no it's not normal. Is it an Intel or Amd ?

Is your cpu fan spinning when the pc is on? At 102, I could use your cpu as a frying pan.

102 will fry your cpu. I'm not sure how hot it is for intel these days, but my 2500xp oced runs at 36c.

Check to see your psu / cpu / and case fans are running.

Its an Intel. 3.06

The fan is spinning when the pc is on..

So I don't know whats wrong and what could cause this over heat.
Im not a computer wiz. so I can just look at it and solve the problem.
That is why I came to the RFD comp. Gurus for help.


What should i do?

OK i will double check all of the above tonite..

How about taking a picture of what's inside your case and uploading it for us to see?

0. Buy some Heat Sink Compound.
1. Disconnect the power cord.
2. Remove CPU & heat sink over CPU.
3. Gently remove any gunk between the CPU and heat sink where they touch
(using a plastic tool like a credit card on edge)
4. Apply a tiny amount a heat sink compound on the CPU (the less the better).
5. Spread it around with the plastic tool.
6. Reassemble heat sink & fan over CPU.
7. Plug power cord back in.

See your CPU run in he 30-40 degree C range.

is it very dusty inside the case? have you try using other temp reading program (ie. cpu fan) to read its temp?

OK will take some pics tonite.. and upload them..

It might just be reading incorrectly.. 102 Celsius is incredibly hot for a CPU. You might want to verify that it's actually Celsius and not Fahrenheit. Look in your BIOS and see if the temperatures there match what you're seeing elsewhere.

Feel inside the case with your hand and try to guess what the temperature near the CPU is, at 102C, the ambient air should also be very hot.

Your bios might be misreading the temp. My Athlon64 3000+ is running real hot too.. after abotu 30 mins of games goes to around 67 or 70 and computer just crashes.. damn MaTX case.
