  1. Hi
    My computer is restarting randomly. well not restarting but the monitor goes black, keyboard locks up (numlock scroll lock caps lock are all stuck on their positions) and i have to restart manually. The heat of the CPU after a restart in bios is about 60 Degrees Celsius and in speedfan during normal usage between 50 and 55.
    System Specs are:
    AMD XP 2500
    Asus A6V700 Motherboard
    2x 256DDR ram

    Can anyone help with this problem? Ive had it looked at a couple times but whenever the tech looks at it, it never restarts!!! I emailed him the problems later he said it could be heat, Mobo, Ram or CPU malfunction is there any diagnostic tool i can use to perform a diagnostic?
    Thanks

    Hello and welcome to Techspot.

    It may well be a heat problem.

    Have you tried cleaning your heatsink, fans etc with a little compressed air?

    Also clean the fan/heatsink on your graphics card.

    A build up of dust and debris can certainly cause heat problems.

    You can also download Mother board monitor 5 (mbm5) and also CPUIDLE which will help to cool your cpu. You can get both these programmes from www.majorgeeks.com

    Regards Howard

    Ps you can also download Memtest86+ from www.memtest.org

    This will test your RAM for errors.

    Let it run for at least seven passes. :wave: :wave:
