Is My Computer Overheated?
My computer has been slowing down a bit lately, then it froze, after turning it off and then back on, it booted up and came on for 60 seconds and the screen went blank but it sounds like it is running but nothing comes on the monitor. I cleaned out the dust and tried again but still sound of motor running but nothing comes up on the monitor. Help! The monitor is working fine but why won't anything come up?

It depends on what type of processor you have. For like a Pentium 3, the max temperature it can reach before you have a chance of burning it out is around 75 degrees celcius.
For my computer, I am running a 1ghz amd Thunderbird. It normally runs on my computer around 23-24 degrees celcius. A couple sources says I can run my cpu up to 90 degrees celcius though I doubt I would ever get it that high.
For basically all computers, 43 degrees celcius is around a normal running temp, especially for newer computers that heat up more.
Also, its not necessarily bad if it reaches these temperatures.... It's bad to constantly get these temps. When your computer gets up to its max temp, it starts to run slower... But if it does get to the point where your processor might get damaged, the computer won't let this happen. It will crash on you and give you error messages.
My computer has a temputure sensor and showing 43 celcius is this to hot
- My fan i running at a speed of 2949 RPM -

This is cold my man ... I used to run my seprom (AMD) on 70 celcius (beacuse my motherboard is not comaptible wiht the procesor) and it worked well ... I do not se why should it be a problem to run on 43 C .... thats cold man
My computer has a temputure sensor and showing 43 celcius is this to hot
and i have a pentium 4. 2.40 GHz
- My fan i running at a speed of 2949 RPM -
a pentium 4, running at 43C is not high at all. I'm an AMD guy, but knowing the heat output of Intel chips, that is actually pretty cool. If you're worried, replace the thermal pad/grease.
I have Intel Pentium 4, originaly running at 2.0GHz, and I clocked it, and it's running on 2.6GHz, and it's core temperature is 54 degrees Celsius, at 100% load... You are safe with your CPU temperature, you have much headroom for it to heat up... Intels have a good reputation of saving a CPU when it overheats... They lower the frequency, it's slows down, or, if the overheat is extreme, it will immediately shut down...
In conclusion, you are very safe, and your CPU temperature is very good
No problem with the temperature of your CPU. Mine at the moment is running at around 53C. Most computers automatically shut down when they get too hot, to avoid damage to the chips.
Just, to make sure you are safe, check your bios settings and make sure "turn on computer if temperature is above 60-65 C" option is on. Depending on the mother board, you might have an option to turn on "warnings" if temperature gets too hot. Turn "warnings" on at 60 C, and "shut down" at 75C and you should be fine.
Right now my CPU die temp is 47C, and the computer doesn't shutdown at die temp, but teh ABS temp is 51C. The computer is set to underclock at 70C (i think) and shutdown at 85C. It's an AMD, and I know AMD's get hotter, but 43 is very cool. By the time windows has loaded my computer is atlease 43C.
A few months back I noticed my CPU temp going up and up over the corse of about a month. I didnt think anything of it.
I only got scared when I noticed it had reached 90*C!! So I got my vacume cleaners and sucked every little piece of dust out, there was alot on the fan, I usually have the side of my case off for some unknown reason...

-question by frances
I started smelling something burning in my room but it was not a strong smell so I paid it no mind. I walked out of the room for about a minute and when I came back my computer was turned off and nothing worked and the lights were off. The smell was stronger so I think it might have been burned out. I have a 2006 computer but I don't exactly know it's processor and stuff. I waited a day but nothing happened and I held the power button down for like 30 seconds but still nothing happened... Can someone help?
That is ok for a new processor anything under 50 degrees is awesome. the petiums are usually alot cooler than the amd's which will normally run at about 55 degrees but any new processor ( less than about 4 years old )can run at anything up to about 90 degrees so your chip will be fine but of course if you are running two identical processors and one is 15 to 20 degrees cooler, the one that is cooler run fast and more efficently.
So if possible you should put a few more fans on your case to make the chip run cooler it will help the processor last longer and run a hell of a lot better. just remember you can never over cool a chip the cooler the better the only problem with more fans usaually means more noise so you will have to see how noisy you want your machine to be . Also just make sure that you machine is always clean from dust just blow it out with a compressor or something every two or three months as the dust builds up on the fans and stuff and they do not work as efficently as normal. And one other way to help cool your machine down without adding fans is just to open the case while using it this help keep a good flow of cool air to the processor to keep it alot cooler.
Well, I tried to post this to the Programming Languages subforum, but it seems that I could only do
so in one of the subforums there... As this is not related to any particular language, I posted it
here (admins & mods, please feel free to move this to the right section, if this isn't it :))

people create exercises and post them on the web, and other people solve them... It's fun, and

Hi, it's my birthday at the beginning of May (8th), and I expect to get roughly £250 or $500. I
was wondering if anyone knows of any what-you-would-call good deals on a computer. However, if you
do find any, it would be preferrable they were located in the UK (so no shipping), if they are in
the US, for example, remember shipping to the UK. Anyway, I want as a minimum of Dual Core

I have read in a lot of forums about the importance of this component. And with regards to my
problem of the computer restarting while playing games, this could very well be the reason but I
can't confirm anything. When I bought my graphics card Winfast A6200 TD, a minimum of 400w
output was needed from the psu and that was I had. But is the psu actually causing the problem of my
computer restarting? That the psu does not have enough power to handle the functions of the graphics
card? I was playing PES 6 (Pro Evolution Soccer 6) and everything seemed fine until i....

What do you think of the widescreen display laptops are beginning to adopt nowadays? Is that the
right way to go? Or should we stick to our original display (800 * 600, 1024 * 768 ... etc) instead
of (1280 * 800). For me I think these widescreen display should be the way to go, it allows you
more space to do your stuff especially if you are doing some image editing, and that requires a huge
amount of resolution size. There is an argument whereby you can increase your resolution to make it
tinier so that you can have more space but then again, the problem with making the....

The fastest computer on Earth just got a whole lot faster. According to data gathered by the Top500
list (www.top500.org), IBM’s Blue Gene/L supercomputer, which runs at the Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory in California, has dramatically extended its lead over competitors by achieving
speeds of 280.6 trillion floating-point operations per second (teraflops)—more than double the
136.8-teraflop speeds the system clocked in June. The achievement, along with other advancements
from supercomputers in the U.S., mark the completion of a ten-year to develop supercompute....
Although we all hate computer viruses, it has now become a fact of life in day to day computing,
especially for those of us using the windows operating system. So here is what you have to do if
you are unfortunate enough to encounter one. 1)If you are connected to any network, make sure you
disconnect from that network and pull out the network cable as you don't want the virus to
spread throughout the network. 2)If you have an anti-virus software installed, run it. If you
don't have it installed, borrow a cpoy from friends or family or purchase it. 3)Keep run....
Ok here is the problem. My computer is restarting by its self. I have run many many different virus

establushed, so If i restart my router, my pc restarts too, also when connection to Hamachi , VPN

I recently got a new computer, a NEC i-Select D5410. A few days ago it started to randomly crash,
and all inputs and outputs were cut. The monitor displayed "No Signal", the keyboard and mouse
stopped working and the speakers cut out, yet the power light remained on, and the fans were still
spinning. Opening the DVD and CD drive still worked, so it isn't a power or mobo failure, as far
as I am aware. In an attempt to remedy the problem I have moved the computer into a more open area
to try and improve air flow, as I belive the problem is overheating or lack of air c....

the computer or my internet connection. It often takes several seconds to open up a link. What

Here are some advantages of having a computer in your bedroom. 1) you can talk to your friends all
the time without having to exit because no one else will be going on. 2) you can stay up as alte as
you want on the internet. 3) no one can see what you're using the computer for (for example, if
you say you're doing homework you can play games) 4) no one is ever trying to kick you off so
they can have a turn. 5) you can have your own settings 6) you can play music off your computer in

I'm using a Compaq Presario 2100 (Compaq is worst computer ever made, in my opinion). When I

-another color. To get out of this, I have to force shut down. Last time it happened, after
restarting the screen was flashing, very slightly, like a wave effect, and it faded away after a
couple minutes. This only happens when I play this game. Sound or video driver? What cou....
