i have shutting down problem, screen go black but the power light is still on. every time i play CS 1.6 my pc just shutdown on it own i have no clue what the problem or how to fix it i try reformatting and it still does the same thing any help will be kind
moved to correct forum. sounds like cpu is overheating so see if cpu fan & heatsink is clean. also do same to videocard if has fan. make certain all fans are spinning when powered up. any groaning noises when computer is 1st turned on in the morning that eventually goes away?
Download hmonitor. (Google it) Report back with some temps. First of all some temps when your not doing anything. And then try exoncoding something and rpeort back on top temps. Cheers lecsiy
try these. http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=137 http://www.cpuid.com/pcwizard.php http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php also check in your bios for hardware monitor as it will tell you cpu temp & possibly system & psu temps.

i check my cpu temperature it say cpu: 2200.45 mhz cpu temp: 55.3 'C cpu core: 1.374 v cpu load%: 35% so i dont think it my cpu overheating it either my videocard or my power supply is there a problem to check this?
do you have any case fans as might help case to cool down so cpu can cool down even a few degrees? does the videocard have a fan? what is the ram of system & videocard?
ya i have like 4 case fan, plus it winter and my room get pretty cold i have 512 ddram and 64mb gforce viedocard. (it dont have fan) This is when im not playing any games cpu temp: 31.5 'C cpu load: 8% i go trying play cs and see what happen
okie when i play cs1.6 i get a 45'C cpu temp but sometime it still turn off itself is there a program to check videocard temp or is my powersupply is weak? i have a 250voltage powersupply
Yupp that could very well be the problem. What are your specs and well show you a nice power supply thatl keep you going!
win xp sp2 Intel P4 2ghz 512ddram 64mb gforce videocard 250v powersupply that my spec need any more info plz tell
Your 12v bus is a little low and 250w PS is weak for an old P4, we typically use 350w in that configuration because of the Intel demand and we want to be overly cautious. In fact it might be nice to use a dual 12v PS but you don't have to. You still could be shutting down because of CPU temp if it peaks above the CPU limit set by Intel or your mainboard. I tried to look your board up on Asus's web site but could not find it and I haven't configured that one so I don't know if you can set shutdown temps but I did notice that you are throttling at 25% which you can change to 50% or higher. This will make your PC noise increase as fans will be on more often and higher RPM’s but you will also handle peaks better as well. P4's are notorious for running hot and have problems shutting down if it were an Intel mainboard then I would also suggest installing their temp monitoring program in which you can set shutdown temps and what not. Also the extra fans are a good idea but again your 12v bus will suffer so a new PS is probably in order. If the PC is a few years old it might be a good idea to clean off the heatsink/CPU and re-grease them. Good luck, these are always difficult things to troubleshoot.
