Hey,
Having some annoying problems with my system. Basically doing heavy cpu operations (i.e. dvd ripping ect) or playing games, results in my computer either simply restarting itself or freezing.
spec:
amd 3000+
512mb
256 geforce 6800.
I'm pretty sure this started happening since I installed the graphics card, which creates a lot of heat, but I'm not sure; I've only recently really starting using the machine myself.
Lowering the cpu to 1.3gh, everything is fine. running it at anything above that leads the cpu temperature to go above 60 and into the 74 range.
I'm hopefull that this is a heat problem, rather than something wrong with my cpu.
What do you recommend me doing?
new fans? (my current cpu appears fine and runs at a steady 2250rpm)
internal case fan?
gnnh.
Thanks,
Rowan.
