I might be wrong (it has happened before), but it seems my CPU is overheating. When running Speedfan the CPU temp rises to appox 59 degrees celcius. At this stage my PC locks up and there is a loud continous noise.
I have removed alot of the dust from around the CPU fan, this did seem to bring the temps down a bit, but it recently crashed again. Firstly am i right about this being the problem?? Secondly what can I do about it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks My PC is a little on the old side now.... QUOTE Mainboard : Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000-G
Intel Pentium 4 @ 3000 MHz 2048 MB (4 x 512 DDR-SDRAM ) Radeon X1950 Pro |

Pentium 4's are very prone to overheating from my experience. I would suggest that you check up on how the thermal compound is doing under the CPU. Replace it, and if it still does the same thing, then I would suspect the northbridge chipset of overheating. Write back with your results.

Go get a modded fan for your processor. In 99% of the cases, its the fan thats the main culprit. you'll get one for as low as 10$. that will solve your problem
