Processor overheating

hammad76 · 05-06-2007, 04:43 PM

Hello to everyone,
I am a new member on tech-forums.My name is Hammad and I am from Pakistan.
Basically I joined here to share a problem of my pc with you and I need help with it.Last month my motherboard died, and from the past 1 year I was having overheating problems with my pc, it used to shutdown suddenly or restart and then I used to get the error " Your CPU was previously shutdown due to a thermal event (overheating)"
Haven't had this error with the mobo that I got replaced with warranty.But my Processor is still overheating .... I changed my Heatsink fan with Asus VR Guard Cooler.That did not help the cause either and the temperature of processor is still around 65C at idle.I got a new mobo , new heatsink fan, new casing , new psu but nothing solved this problem so I want to know what should I do to solve this problem.I applied new thermal paste reseated the heatsink fan and everything I tried but to no avail.I am attaching a few pics here.I hope I can get a good advice regarding this problem.

what are the ambient temps where you live?

hammad76 · 05-06-2007, 05:23 PM

Yahoo! Weather

I live in Karachi, Pakistan.

have you tried downloading another utility to check your temps?

this almost sounds to me like your processor is going out. is it possible for you to get a new processor?

btw, there are a few utilities you can use to check your temps other than the intel utility you are currently using. They are called Speedfan and MBM5 (aka: motherboard monitor 5)
