program crashing

What about the temps.

 

[Far]

just running again now, last time i did it my pc restarted before the 10 minutes was up lol.

fan1: 2235rpm
fan2: 3154rpm
fan3: 0rpm


temp1: 30c (blue arrow)
temp2: 50c (fire symbol on occasions)
temp3: 43c (red arrow)
HD0: 29c (blue arrow/green tick)

CPU: 60%

Looks like your cpu is overheating.

Take off the heatsinks and reapply a thin layer of thermal paste and make sure your case has GOOD ventilation.

 

[urbanfox]

Check the bios for the thermal protection temp, it's probably 60 degrees.

 

[Far]

yeah its not exactly a good case. its a mesh pc, no special case.

my old graphics card used to restart my pc once i tryed to play certain games (any thing 3d so mir was ok lol) it just used to restart the pc after like 2 mins playing, so i got a new one and it fixed the problem :P

 

[Far]

thats interesting. i altered my graphics to a different quality setting and it doesnt seem to restart as much now.

i have an ATI radion 9800 All-in-wonder series.

 

[urbanfox]

What did you change?
Is fast writes on?

And I would still definitely reapply the thermal paste.

 

[Far]

ill go out and buy some on monday.

a few things i tried that seem to have made a difference..

-took my box out of the desk cupboard, seemed to get quite hot in there.
-moved the graphics from high quality, to quality, back to high quality (no idea why that works, but it seems to have)
-shout at it and call it my b1tch.

restarts once every 3 hours or so now.

I bet ya that made the difference. Make sure you get "arctic silver 5"

is it only "games" that crashed... what about programs?
I remember ati has problems with "mipmap"

 

[urbanfox]

Games are probably the only things he does when he stresses the cpu. Hence restarting with the cpu burn in programs.

 

[Far]

when i use things such as word, nero, ps7, doesnt restart at all. when i use even an old demo game it will restart constantly. seems to have slowed down slightly now though.

 

[Pyraine]

is it always when they are full screen? maybe it's a GFX card problem like, not liking the new resolutions or something

 

[Far]

no even when i play them in window mode it still does it.

 

[Kaori]

did you try changing your ATI settings? mipmap detail level... from high quality to high performance...

 

[urbanfox]

GFX would likely freeze rather than restart.

I'm still bettin on CPU, since when you took it out of that hotter enviroment it restarts less now, not to mention those temps were way too hot anyway.

Umm i got told that upto 60C the temperature should be fine without problems, or it's like one CPU can handle 80C and the other will **** up at 50C?

 

[urbanfox]

Varies greatly between different brands, models, and cores.

I like to recommend to keep load always below 50c, 55c if it's a really hot month. I've personally experienced errors over 55c with some A64's. Then again, this was overclocked with a lot of voltage, so don't nobody say I said A64's were unstable.

P4's on the other hand can take a lot of heat, simply because they start out with a LOT more heat than A64's.
