98 Degrees Farenheit?

[sunkman]

My computer suddenly shut down on me the other day. My case felt hot and after checking my bios the next day, my comp made it up to 98 degrees. My fan goes on occasionally but for very short periods and then shuts down. It was not turning at all when my bios read 98!!! What the !$# do I do?

CPUs usually idle around 32-45 °C, so you are fine.

I guess that shows how much of a newby (or 'idiot' for those with darker sides) I really am!! It read 98 after it had been turned off for a while so I'll leave it on and see how hot I can get it.
