did you try cleaning your computer out with a can of compressed air?

most of the time it's just dust

[amitmathur]

I have not done that yet, but will be doing that today using a vacuum cleaner.
Where exactly i should focus on??

Video Card / HDD / Processor Fan ?

Amit

run ATI tool and scan for artifacts
http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/

[amitmathur]

Thanks !!!!

I have downloaded that tool - "ATITool 0.26". Right now i am at work, will run the tool once at home after about 5 hours from now.

Can you provide me some more information for what should i look for when running this tool?
And also (if you are aware of) what's the benchmark values should be.

Thanks for such a quick reply:)

if errors pop up then you should worry

don't worry about the FPS in the corner

let it run for about half an hour to a hour

[amitmathur]

Hi,

I executed the Tool for around 30 mins. suddenly my system got restarted and when i rebooted it, i found some error which is there in the log - "F75373 temp chip detection: failed (VendorID)".

Then i started the tool again, and simultaneously started Need for Speed Undercover, to see the GPU temp.

Can you please take a look at the log and see every thing is fine?

Thanks,
Amit

[amitmathur]

Hi,

I downloaded Rivetunner, and when i went to set up my Fan speed, it was showing 100%. I think this means, that my fan speed is already 100%.

Please help me in getting it resolve.

[amitmathur]

Hi,

Here are the Results.
Unfortunately CoreTemp is not supported for my Processor Pentium 4/D.

Results for GPU are attached. I am not sure why the Fan speed as coming as "0".

Thanks,
