CPU temperature

[Tattortot]

Hello, I have an ASUS Intel Pentium D PC and for some reason, it keeps shutting down about 5 minuter after i start it up. I'll be working and Bam, it turns off. I think this may have to do with the CPU temperatur in the BIOS settings; but I don't know what setting it is to change the CPU temperature... please help me out. Thanks in advance.

More likely something actually IS overheating (the Pentium D 8xx series are VERY hot chips). Your ASUS MB should have come with a utility that you can run in Windows to report temps, voltages, fan speeds, etc. (perhaps called PC-Probe?) Install that (it should be available at the Asus website for download, too) and run it to monitor temps. I bet you'll find one or more temps way too high; once you figure out which component is overheating, post back and we can figure out how to fix that.

Hi . Pentium D Proccessors in usual are cool!
But there are problems that may cause CPU OverHeating:
1- Fan Failure
2- Corrupted Thermal Grease
3- Settings Changed to Over Clock Mode
4- CPU Hitting ( Droping or hitting )
5- PSU Problem , Absolotely in this mode MOSFETs On MotherBoard Overheated too.
You can Reset Your bios by removing Li Battery on Mainboard. or Choose " Load Fail Safe Settings" From your Bios to see that is in the Overclock mode or not.
if your CPU is hot yet, Check your Fan Speed or Thermal Grease.
