Hi,
I hope I've posted this in the right section!
I've been having this recurring problem - but should I be alarmed?
At least 5 or 6 times a week, my desktop suddenly becomes non-responsive. That is, none of my programmes/applications work or espond at all - though slightly curiously, I can still surf the web. I then have to turn my computer off - as it just freezes if I try to reboot. After that it works fine again - until the next time it becomes non-responsive. And so on.
I am 99-100% certain it is nothing to do with viruses, spyware, adware, malware, etc - as I've ran near endless scans & checks (including online ones) and nothing of any importance is ever found. And when I go to Administrative Tools/Event Viewer, no warnings or alerts are flagged up. In which case, it strikes me as fairly logical to think that it might be something to do with Temperatures and/or Voltages.
Yes, all my fans seem to be whizzing around how they should.
So, I installed Core Temp 0.99.1. On average - and as I write, with the PC having been on for a couple of hours - Core #0 is 30C and Core #1 is 31C - which seems OK to me. However, my "Tjunction" temperature is around 100C - which, to my (albeit non-expert) ears, does sound rather on the high side. Maybe alarmingly so.
Next, I installed SpeedFan 4.34 - and, yes, there is indeed a warning about the Core temperature being 55C. I then enabled Automatic Fan Speed - but nothing seemed to change. And I am uncertain as to how to properly use or configure SpeedFan. I have sent an email to the author of SpeedFan outlining my problem (or potential problem).
Finally, I installed RealTemp 2.70 and it told me this:
Core Temperature - 26C, 27C
Distance to TJmax - 69C, 68C
Minimum temperature - 26C, 26C
Maximum Temperature - 28C, 34C
My Tech Specs are: XP Home+Vista Ultimate (32-bit) \ Intel E6750 @ 3.47 \ Abit IP-35 Pro \ Antec 900 Ultimate Gamer \ Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro \ 2gb Corsair Twin2X2048 XMS Xtreme Performance (800mhz) \ XFX 8800GTS 320mb \ Samsung SpinPoint T 500gb \ Plextor PX-740A \ Corsair CMPSUHX 620w PSU \ Speedtouch 510 v6.
By the way, all this is happening on XP Home (my 'default' O/S) and I am currently NOT running it Overclocked with the Abit uGuru software - that is, everything is at 'defaults' (including my Graphics Card).
Have you got any tips or advise on what I should do next? If you have, that would be much appreciated!
Anyway, I look forward to hearing from you,
DANNY.
