I built a PC for our 83yr old g/father a P5B m/board, D935 pentium 3.2gig proc, 1 gig Kingston ram, WD 250gig sata drive. running windows xp pro, I am getting inconsistant freeze ups they could be at 5 minutes or 6 hours or anything inbetween, i have the 1405 bios update for the board and the prossesor temps are high. at idle 53 to 58 degrees celcius and can tip 62, the thing I dont understand is the heatsink on the D935 isn't getting warm, it is clicked in correctly and making good contact (thermal paste spread evanly and it is a thin smear virtually transparent from factory heatsink). I took it to a tech and he is as baffled as I am. Oh the temps are taken from both asus pcprobeII and the bios on a reboot. I have built many systems and never had a problem.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated
Oh,,, the vcore is only 1.18 but I can't see how to change that in the bios as it is locked out and I would think that increasing this would result in more heat.
Thanks
