System shuts down automatically

[ruturajpokemon]

I was in a trouble in which while playing a game the system was shutting down automatically.I found that it could be overheating so i cleaned up my pc and the problem was solved.but now it again shuts down randomly.

hello and welcome to TSF

please download Speedfan from my sig and use it to see the CPU and video card temps when idle and under stress and post them back here

[ruturajpokemon]

Speedfan from sig, what is 'sig'?

[vladimirb]

Hello
Please post your system specifications also...

'Sig' is his signature where you can see link to various download web pages,
under his message...

Keep us posted...

wow!
are those temps when your PC is idle???
if that is in idle than the CPU and GPU temps are high!
idle means when the PC is not doing anything
under stress means when the CPU is working like playing a game
so try playing a game for 10 to 20 mins and minimize the game and see what the temps are again
if your PC shuts down before 10 mins then 5 mins is OK
it seems that your PC is not getting enough cooling and the CPU is shutting down to prevent damage.
also please post your PC specifications :
CPU
Video Card
RAM
Motherboard
Power Supply Unit

[ruturajpokemon]

fan1 speed=4553 rpm
ACPI temp=40 degree celsius
GPU=75 DEGREE CELSIUS
CPU=50 DEGREE CELSIUS

Are these temperatures in idle mode or full mode???
For your information, idle mode is when you are not doing anything on PC,
and Full mode/load is when you are playing games etc.
If these temperatures are in idle, than GPU and CPU temperatures are a bit high...
And your fan speed is on high speed so I guess your CPU is over-heating...

what you can do is to get extra fans for your PC
now that the best thing is to open the side case of your Desktop to let your CPU and video card have some cooling air
it'll be a temporary solution

SYSTEM:
MS WINXP
PROFESSIONAL
VERSION 2002
SP2
COMPUTER:
INTEL(R)
PENTIUM(R)4 CPU 2.66 GHz
2.67 GHz,768 MB of RAM
Physical Address Extension
Graphics driver Nvidia Geforce 7300 SE/7200 GS

Yes the temperature in idle mode, but how can avoid overheating

Can you tell me one thing? I have my pc in 3/5 closed position.do i need to have it be exposed totally? B'coz if i keep it open there will be more dust than close,isn't it?or will there be no dust?

Ok give me a second i will try playing a game

[RockmasteR]

that's better
keep the side case open for now
you'll notice a temp drop of both the CPU and Video Card
and always keep your PC in a cool area (if you are putting your case under the monitor or under a desk make sure that there is a space between a wall and a fan

[ruturajpokemon]

Fan speed 4523 rpm
gpu temp=72 degree celsius
cpu temp=44 degree celsius
this is after opening the side cases
suddenly the cpu, ambient, hd0, temp1 are the only having a tick mark.

Could you please describe the airflow in your case.
By that I mean positions of each fan and which direction they are directing air.

Aside from that, try making sure the system clear of dust (it can build up surprisingly quickly). Make sure cables are tied back and clear of any fans so that airflow isn't hindered.

Also make sure the CPU Heatsink and Fan are securely seated (not loose).

[ruturajpokemon]

ok i will describe you.the system is located in a case and the airflow is from its front, the air might pass from its sides but it can't reach the back.the airflow back of the fan has attached wires to the system and a wall.

[ruturajpokemon]

What is cpu heatsink

[RockmasteR]

it's the part attached on the CPU

[ruturajpokemon]

Where were you? Iam having no reply

[ruturajpokemon]

Iam noticing a drop of temperature but the sound of the fan from the pc is not reducing

[ruturajpokemon]

iam leaving, sorry i have to turn off the net.

[RockmasteR]

it is not supposed to drop quickly especially if the CPU temps is still above 40

[ruturajpokemon]

O.k.friends iam sorry i cracked the game.iam feeling guilty from the center of my heart,but i had no other option! It is one of my favourite games.please forgive me.i will never do anything like this again!
