Hi All,
This has just recently started happening and am wondering what is going on?? My CPU temp gets 80-85 degrees C easily and then shuts down right around 100 degrees C.
I have the bios setup to shutdown around 85 degrees C, but it continues past that. Anyhow, this problem occurs when I am doing a couple of things:
1. Have Lightroom export 50+ pictures in DNG to Jpeg at full 6MP resolution.
2. Trying to convert FLV files to Itunes format (MP4). Only a couple of files gets it HOT! Typical flv file size is between 5 megs to 50 megs.
Here are the specs of my system:
XP Pro SP3,
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H (Edited correct board)
2 Gig DDR2 RAM - branded
ATI Radeon HD3200 on board graphics.
Have 4 harddrives - 2 500Gigs (Maxtor + Seagate), 2 160 gigs(Maxtors).
Thermaltake CPU fan that can run upto 2500RPM(it does when the temp is going high)
I have the Antec case that has the big fan on the top and two for the harddrives.
AMD Cool n Quiet installed and running.
Here is what I have done
I have shut everything off, except for Antivirus, Firewall and Superantispyware running in background. Still temps get real hot.
I have cleared all the dust, re-seated the CPU, opened up the case and put a fan there, besides the 5 fans running in system(1 cpu, 2 case fans, 2 Harddrive fans and one powersupply fan)
Itunes is installed but not running during these shutdowns.
No Overclocking whatsoever. Everything is running stock.
All XP SP3 updates. Checked for virus, spyware, trojans on a regular basis.
So what gives?????? Will Arctic Silver make the difference? I have searched and can't find an answer.
Edit: added C for degrees
