    Hmmm this is kinda a rare thing but first of all can you give me the specs of the machine?

    Have you ever upgraded it?

    Try downloading speedfan to monitor the temperatures of your CPU.

    Some computers restart when the temperature hits a specific amount in order to protect it from overheating.

    where do i find the specs????

    I know that it is 2800+ 120gb 512mb. my son owned it before he gave it to me and he may have upgraded as he would play alot of online games on this machine.

    Temperature sensor 0 68°C (154°F) [0x44] (TMPIN0)
    Temperature sensor 1 51°C (123°F) [0x33] (TMPIN1)
    Temperature sensor 2 55°C (130°F) [0x37] (TMPIN2)
    Fan sensor 0 16 RPM [0x2A2A] (FANIN0)

    Those are some pretty high temps... But it doesn't specify what they are from.

    Can you download speed fan and write down wich speeds it detects on it? Also, tell me how many fans the computer has and what is the RPM. It says all that in speedfan.

    Download speedfan from here:

    when you start the program, on the main page it says the temperatures there and on the left side it says Fan 1 Fan 2 Fan 3 Fan 4 and the RPM next to it. Tell me how many RPM's it says.

    Can you open the case of the computer and tell me if there is just one fan inside? Like only the CPU fan or is there any case fans?

    Oh i forgot, before you do that, what are the temps. It says the temps in speedfan on the main page on the right. Tell me all of them please.

    Hmmm i see it depends on the mobo i think... But anyways those temps at idle are VERY high if the first is CPU then it restarts because it overheats.
