Overheating CPU - P630?

[wasko]

What is normal temperature for P630 - 3.00GHz? Is 60 degrees OK?

The problem: WinXP SP2 crash with STOP ERROR: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
0x0000000A (0x00000014, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x80508411)


CPU FAN: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro (BIOS error "CPU FAN ERROR! PRESS F1 TO RESUME" on booting)

Mainboard: ASUS P5LD2
RAM: 2x512MB PQI DDR2 533MHz
VIDEO: GeForce 6600 256MB PCI-Express
HDD: Seagate 250GB SATA 8MB
PSU: Enermax Liberty 500W
CASE FANS: 5 GlacialTech 8025

60°C is pretty normal for a Prescott based Pentium-4. Have you tried running a memtest to see if the problem doesn't come from the Ram ?

Thanks Didou BTW what is not normal for a P630?

I tested the RAM before 5-6 days, but i'm not sure for the result.

Windows Memory Diagnostic makes 450 passes and give 2 errors:

Result - Pass - Test ----- Cache --- Adress ----- Expected ---- Actual
.. 1 ....... 68 ... WINVC .... On ........ 0015da88 .... 7f7f7f7f ...... 7f7f7f3c
.. 2 ....... 68 ... WINVC .... On ........ 0015daa8 .... 7f7f7f7f ...... 7f7f7f3c



Memtest 3.4 (I tested 3 days) give 4 errors (screenshot #1-4).

Use the memtest I linked. It is not Windows based & more reliable. As for the CPU temp, once it goes over 75°C I would say there's a problem.

OK. I tested with memtest86 too (ISO burned to CD), but it give any errors.

How long did you leave it running ? You should leave it a couple of hours or even 24 hours if possible.

2 days (~48 hours).

Windows crashes again with new blue screens:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
tcpip.sys
0x86861CCB, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0xF4E2CEE3
dumping physical memory to disk 1..2..3%

... and too BAD_POOL_CALLER, MEMORY MANAGMENT.

Have you tried playing around with the Ram modules ? Maybe testing them one by one, lowering speed & timings, raising module voltages, etc.
