This is over heating right?

What symtoms does ur pc have when it over heats.....
Usually it Does this:
When computer turns on there is a buzzing sound from the fan
The computer will then shut off for no reason later or freeze up
If you immideatly try to turn it on it wont because it is still hot
If you try later it will work for a few minutes
I have had this problem before and these are things that you could do to fix it
Is your computer in an inclosed space?
How many fans does your computer have? mine has 3
My Dad also had this problem and he just leaves the case open.... keeps it cool
I just got a new bigger fan that works better
When was the last time you opened and vacumed and cleaned the inside of your computer and cleaned your fans with some alchol and some qtips
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I have fixed many of my friends computers by doing this... Dust will kill a computer

does he have any good/active protective software installed? if not, i reccomend running a scan using AVG free edition (you may need to scan in safe mode if said pc is loaded). this is available from free.grisoft.com and downloads an exe file. run that file and preceed with the installation. once you get the avg program updated, run a full system scan. reply with the results of your scan.
AMD or INTEL
What processor do you have in your box?
AMDs generally run really hot. If you're running a 3400+ or above its not uncommon to see them go 30 cel. to 38 cel @ idle and 40-47 cel. while running common apps. Some of the higher end Intels are no better. Also if you build your computer, and are using a bulit in temp. utility to see CPU temp. you may want to check if there is a bios upgrade (the synchronization may be off).

AMDs
I've worked with AMDs, and the only thing that would make a difference temp.-wise is the core. For example, Clawhammers tend to run hotter than any other AMD core (San Francisco, Newcastle, etc.) But, yea AMDs do run that hot and the only thing that will prevent the processor from heating up that hot is a good cooling system (heatsink). I was talking about the higher end AMDs (3400+ and higher). You are right about the lower end AMDs, like the 2800+, they do run cooler than the prescott.

Surprising
That's news to me. Do you have a temp. comparison chart that states this? I've always thought that all the older core AMDs run much much hotter than their intel counterparts. For the older clawhammer cores (for example a 3700+) the temps. reach 35-37 cel. @ idle and 45-50 cel. during heavy processing tasks. Of course, this is the case if you have a good heat sink and are using a decent compound. I know one guy who overclocked his 3700 clawhammer @ 5.0Ghz, but he had a massive refrigerent based cooling system. Now, if you are refering to the newer AMD cores brought out then I would agree that they run cooler than their intel counterparts.

AMDs have been running cool since the Thoroughbred core, & since the Athlon64 they've been running cooler then Intel equivalents, it's nothing new.
I myself am still running a 0.13 Athlon64 & it runs very cool even under full load (with the stock heatsink). When idling cool'n'quiet kicks in & the CPU lowers its speed to 1GHz & the voltage to 1.1v. It then runs cool enough for the CPU fan to shutdown in order to lower noise (like on laptops).

An article (one of many) showing the different power consumptions of these chips, even the Pentium-M.Is it really any wonder why Intel is moving all its CPUs to a Pentium-M inspired architecture ?

Its Probably Not Overheating
The problems that you described coincided with a similar issue that I had with my AMD. You probably have one of the new "smart" motherboards that are out.
The problem was that my comp would always crash whenever I overloaded it with resource demanding applications. I put tons of fans in the case and reapplied arctic silver 5 heat sink compound. It would work for alittle while, then crash. I'd run a bunch of system utilities like defrag, system cleanup, Ad-aware, Avast virus scan, and Microsoft spyware all at the same time. My motherboard is an Abit-board (a "smart" board) and the Guru clock would always read 65 deg. cel. when the resources were in use. Now, thats hot!! My core is clawhammer and it can operate up to 70. I found out that the guru utility reads directly from the bios, the temp of the CPU whenever this temp exceeds a certain limit, the motherboard shuts down the CPUs functionality (thus everything would freeze). The real problem was with the BIOS and its synchronization with the hardware temperature detection. I am a bit pissed at Abit for waiting so long to put out an updated bios to fix this problem, but it was the root cause. I'm sure if you check your motherboard manufactorer's website you'll find a bios update. Fans and heat sinks will only work up to a certain point. Plus you should NEVER blow a fan on your components with your case open.

uhm, buy new gear...
I would reccomend a new heatsink...or possibly water cooling....those temps sound insane...
If youre going to go heatsink, id go with the Thermaltake cl-p0024. Reviews about this heatsink are nice, people are saying that it has lowered their cpu temps by 20 degrees! Also, with this heatsink, you can place two fans, directly on the heatsink, which is pretty awesome.
You could also go water cooling, but if you dont even know what the bios are, id suggest having someone help you out with the install of the water cooling system. It can get tricky.
Also, you might need better airlflow...its best to have one flow through your case. all of your fans should be blowing in the same direction, sucking air in through the front, and blowing it out the back...
Also, there are many cooling devices out there. You said that your hardrive was getting kinda hot too...there are such things as harddrive coolers....they are like 45 bucks at comp usa....
There are tons of cooling products out there...www.coolerguys.com sells a whole bunch of cooling gear...check it out!
hope this helps...

Heat sink
You could spend endless amounts of cash on a heatsink that will probably NOT fix your problem. The Bios is a small binary program that resides on the motherboard. It is used to provide communication to your hardware. Most bios are built on Flash technology, enabling you to erase the binary code stored on there and install a new binary code. It will not usually be found on an automatic update from your board manufactorer. Best thing to do is go to the motherboard website or call them for directions on how to do this. You might also try reapplying thr heat sink compound. Arctic Silver 5 is one of the best compounds you can get. Also, if you apply too much heatsink compound, it can act as an insulator and heat up your CPU. My advice is to do this, see if your temps go down if they still run hot, then start looking at other options.
