Hi gurus!
I am having a strange issue. I am running a Duron 900Mhz on an ABIT KT Motherboard and I am not overclocking any aspect of my system because i know that in the summer my house is an oven (living in Texas)
I've not changed anything in my system lately, though I had some issues with my ATI video card (Rage Fury Pro, yeah i need to upgrade).
Now, if I leave my system on continually, when it goes idle my CPU begins overheating, until the system locks up. This does not happen when I am actively playing a game on the computer, only when it is idle.
Can anyone give a suggestion as to why? I have turned off all power-scheme items in both the BIOS and Windows which would shut down any system components, and I am at a loss as to what is going on.
If I need to give more info I will. Just ask
Thanks.
