Hi there, I'm new here but hopefully you guys can help. In the last day or so my desktop has been randomly shutting itself off with warning, mainly whilst converting documentarys and backing up retail movies onto my HDD. This happend a year or so ago and I assumed that it was caused by overheating, so I opened up the case to find shed loads of dust clogging up the CPU & GPU fans and generally the rest of the mobo, so I hovered out the mobo, removed both heatsinks, cleaned with ArctiClean Thermal Material Remover and ArctiClean 2 Thermal Surface Purifier. After which I added some fresh AS5 and re-seated the heatsinks. However now the problem has come back, and after checking the mobo, there is no dust inside what-so-ever, all fans appear to be working 100%. however I read on this thread (http ://www .techspot .com/vb/topic48576. html) that i should run speedfan to check on the temps. Here's what i got:
EDIT: Won't let me post image, but i could PM them to some1 so they can post 'em? (http: //s705. photobucket. com/albums/ww60/treesmoker08/?action=view¤t=HeatTemps.jpg)
Can anyone tell me what componants are overheating? (i.e temp 1, temp 3, core 0, core 1) and how i'd go about cooling these componants down? because I'm not great when it comes to replacing parts, it took me forever to find out that my mums old TIME computer needed a socket 440 CPU, lol
Any help would be greatly appreciated
EDIT: by the way my specs are:
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU 6300 @ 1.86GHz, MotherBoard Chipset: nVIDIA nForce4 Intel Edition (NFORCE 570 SLIT-A ver.3)
Graphics Card: nVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT, OS: Vista Media Center Edition 32-BIT
Hopefully this is enough info, if not let me know
