Could my system be overheating

[zamacman1]

When I start my system (p4 24.c P4P800 board radeon 9500 pro video card kingston pc2700 512mb ram) the CPU is around 87-92F. when I restart it after just surfing on the internet and look at it it is 94-98f. But when I play Hitman2 sometimes my system will just turn off. I did not think of it till just now but could it be getting to hot? My case is 350watt it has an exhaust fan on top and an intake on the side do I need to add another fan?

98 farenheit? pfff, come back when you actually have a heat problem!

thats nothin man

This is my case

so you do not think that it is restarting due to being to hot?

Doesn't sound like it's getting hot, especially as you have plenty of air flowing thru your case.
I'd be concerned with why when you play Hitman2 your pc locks up/turns off for no apparent reason, does this happen everytime you play this game ?
What happens with other games like such as Q3,UT2k3 if you have them ?

I have not played any other games but the sims. It only happens every once in a while but has happened like 7 times. I just played it for 5 mins and restarted system and the CPU temp was 100F this is not overclocked either and i was wanting to overclock it. I might can get Q3 from a friend and try that.

does prime 95 run ok .. if it does its not a heat problem more likely drive or bios setting.

sorry if this is a dumb question but what is prime 95?

and where can i get it?

 

[zamacman1]

Im running that prime 95 thing and just looked at my asus probe which is usually wrong and it says the temp is 111-114F is it supposed to do this?

 

[zamacman1]

The top fan is blowing out cool air. Shouldnt it be warm air if the CPU is 114F?

 

[walk2]

That cpu is rated to 74C, which is 165F. If your temp is really 98-114F then it is not overheating by far.

so I should be able to overclock with no problem right?
