hi new here, and could use some help. I have ECS L4VXA2 mobo (i know i know POS) with intel p4 2.5 ghz chip. have had freezing issues for some time now with this computer and I just kinda assumed/hoped it was an insufficient power supply. just upgraded from a 350w to a antec 380 (sonata case) and am still having issues.

So i get MBM 5 and run it and it says my case is at like 75 celcius and my cpu at 68! this is with cpu usage between 0-10%. now this would probably explain the freezing. but can It really be running that hot?! also, uh, what the hell should i do?!

sorry for crosspost and thanks in advance for any help
 
do you have any fans in your case? live in a REALLY hot place?
the reading could be off but if your CPU is at 68 that its prob correct, clean out all the duse in your case, clean the heatsink, reapply thermal paste, make sure that the fan on the heat sink is working & spinning in the correct direction as well as case fans (front in back out)

im guessing the CPU temp is causing your freezing issue, are you overclocking? because it shouldent be that hot at all
