I was playing Warhammer online earlier.. and my computer shut-off on me. I thought my brother was playing a bit of a joke on me.. he claimed he wasn't. The problem became more frequent through out the day and it became a hassle.
I cleaned all my fans. Heat sink.. and just removed typical dust from the case. That didn't do any good whatsoever. I removed my video card (9500gt) and I saw a bit of progress.. I was browsing these forums looking for fixes and alot of people seemed to think it was temperature related. I downloaded speedfan..
My temps were fairly good (40c) for most.. but Core and Remote were unbelievably high. Impossibly high tbh. 112c? Between 50-112c.. I'd have a melted CPU if that was the case.. but the issue is.. there was very little heat coming from my computer. The air-out was cool for the most part.
Any suggestions? It won't even boot upconsistently now.. if it shuts off it won't boot up for ~5 minutes. It's an old rig.. It might just be time.
Specs:
Compaq
9500 GT vid card
2 GB ram (1x1024, 2x512)
~300W power supply
AMD Athlon 3500+
Anything else that would be helpful?
