I am using a P4 3G HT FSB 800 bought < 3 months. The PC powered off automatically when I run more applications or some CPU-intensive programs soon after I have it. Then I installed a tool (speedfan) to monitor the CPU temp. I notice that when I run non-CPU-intensive programs, if the number of program is small (< 7 or sth.), then the CPU temp stays 55 - 60C. But if the number is big, sometimes it just shoots up to 70C in no time for no reason, and the PC powers off as a result. In another case, when I run CPU-intensive programs (like Matlab), it is a receipt for shutdown: the CPU temp goes up and never stop till the PC cuts off itself. :hotbounce
I check, the CPU fan and the case fan work both well. The prob. exists even I open the case and let it wide open (I am doing so now). About the environment, now I am in summer time and I don't have A/C in the room yet(room temp < 30C), if you think environment can be a factor.
So I wonder whether this is a normal prob for P4 3G HT, or only my CPU's and I need to replace it?
Thanks,
Johnson
