okay, so I have an asus a7a266, bios 1004, with a 1.2GHz. From what I've read, I gather that bios reports the temp as 10ºC hotter than it actually is. Well, I've been having problems with my computer freezing when I'm playing games or doing anything stressful to the cpu. When I restart it the bios tells me that the cpu temp is 54º-59ºC which I assume translates to 44º-49ºC. I imagine that it's probably a little hotter durring the actual game, but I'm wondering if that's hot enough to actually freeze my computer, and also if 44º-49º is bad in the first place. To solve my problem, I went to the giant computer store down the road and picked up another fan, and then a bottle of silicon heat sink compound from RadioSuck. The compound didn't help at all with my old fan, and installing the new fan didn't make much difference either (I used the compound that came with it just in case the tube stuff was bunk). Does anybody have any idea as to what could be the problem?
The old fan was a Volcano II, and the new one (From CompUSA) says PowerCooler on it.
