Screen Freezes CPU Overheating?
Posted by rootj4m13 on April 5th, 2008



Im struggling to determine a problem of mine. Recently I recieved a
fatal CPU temprature message in my BIOS when my system was starting I
thought nothing of it switched my machine off and came back to find it
working alright. However a few weeks down the line now I am finding my
system is freezing or so it seems. My screen will freeze the current
picture, sound will stop. Therefor I can still see the state of the
crash. However outbound MSN connections remain intact and my CD drive
still opens and closes. To this I think it could be an overheating
problem.
Checking my cpu temp running P4 Intel 3.21Ghz im on 57*C and using
0.07% CPU usage. My case is open, well venitlated and I have vacumend
my case clean, removed my heatsink and and dust.

Could it simply be a problem of a lack of thermal paste, OR could it be
a graphics card problem. I cannot determine!

Any help is apriciated!

Thanks, Jamie

You received a "fatal CPU temprature message in [your] BIOS" and you
"thought nothing of it". That's your problem. Now your system is fried.
