cheers woz

 

any ideas pls would be nice cheers

 

YEA THAT HAppened to me like a few days ago.....i just reinstalled all of my drivers...and it didn't do it anymore...try doing that

 

If it's that new that they just replaced two fans I'd take it back and make em fix or replace it. You should not have to bother if it's new!

 

sorry m8 dont know much about pcs tryin to learn what drivers should i re install fans seen to be working ok
cheers woz

 

should i reinstall all my programs and xp
how can i check if is cos of overheat is there a program to check temperatues
cheers woz

 

bios the thing that u get to when pushing f2/del/ or something else depeend on ur bios, should have a build in temp mointer or u could use Everest Home edition 2.20 here: www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html


Whats with the name change woz?

 

yeah sorry m8 signed up ages ago and couldn`t remmwmber my username so signed up again take no notice of the wozza1970 but its still me
downloade that program
can`t fint the temperature
can you pls tell me where to look cheers m8

 

it should be in the sensor icon on the right hand side of the screen.

Ok will do

 

mobo 44
cpu 56
only on internet not burning or anything is this running hot if it is what should i do the computer is new should i try and send it back?

 

really u would want ur mobo as close to room temp as possible, mine is 30oC and the cpu looks okish, mine is runnign at 50oC but that is running a game.

 

now back to original question would these temps cause computer to restart on its own or shall i re install progs

 

cooling fans running at 1350 rpm can i turn this up?

 

i cant tell ya that, but highly doubtful that that would be the problem, have u got a video card or is it built in. Cuz it sounds like a video card clash

 

cheers for your help m8 have put a post up with an error code if you got any idea pls lmk
cheers woz

 

If the computer is new and not much to back up or lose, fans are o.k. and our friend doesn't know much about PCs, wouldn't a plain ol' destructive recovery be the easiest route?
