Hi... I'm having a load of problems with my PC restarting randomly.
Well, I say randomly, it restarts mostly when I am doing demanding
stuff such as gaming. You might of noticed my other post on this...
take a look.
Anyway, I've been speaking to some other people and they all seem to
agree that it's some sort of over-heating going on... the thing is,
as I'm only a student (a poor student!) I don't want to go out and
buy new fans for my PC unless I'm sure it's going to make a
difference.
So, can anyone tell me the symptoms of CPU over-heating? I'm really
not sure what to do... I don't even know how to take the thing out!
One other thing you might want to know, when I first thought the
problem to be over-heating, I took the case off and had a look inside
to find an unworking case fan. This however has been replaced, and the
computer still restarts even when playing undemanding games such as
runescape.com.
I'm running windows XP SP2, athlon 1700+ with 256mb RAM. Sad I know,
again... I'm poor!!
Thanks
