with the 7900GT would seem to point to something else. Do me a favor and post your system specs, CPU, memory (manufacturer/model as well as speed), aftermarket cooling on CPU (if applicable), power supply, case, and all hard drives in the system. Heat problems...

it seems like this is a CPU heating problem not a system heating problem. thanks! three more updates: 1. I ran a test of flamingo raytracing (pegs the processor at 100% for as long as you want) and the system pushed up to 69 degrees with a cpu fan at...

Sorry. The system is a 2.8 ghz pentium Running a 128 meg geforce4 card 1 gig of kingston pc3200 ram 80 gig 7200 rpm hd XP Pro that should be all the vitals. The case is running with 7 fans so I don't think it would be a heating problem, but maybe? Things...

Heat problem in my new Athlon 2000xp system?. Hi there, Its been a while since i have had time to post or even read much about the hardware scene (Work, wife, etc). But i just upgraded my old Athlon 800 system to a Athlon 2000xp. The new system till now...

or crack a core, and none of these systems have had heat problems.... even the overclocked ones. The guy who introduced me to AMD 9 or 10 months also builds computers for his friends/family - all AMD, and none have had heat problems. People I know at the...

one. If you want to confirm whether or not you have a heat problem then open the case and point a room fan into it. If the problem goes away then it was definitely caused by heat. Of course, you then have to track down the source of the problem but do...

I don't see any problems with AMD processers. As long as there is a frickin heat sink on it that isn't installed by someone who doesn't know how to do it, the processer will run fine. I have a Duron system and there have been no heat problems, no instability...

Corsair pc4000 120 maxtor SATA Sapphire Radeon 9800pro 128mb Watercooled I don't know how you can suggest a s775 system with all the heat problems they have. Since he is new to building computers he will probably run into alot of heat issues. Now as far...

not just heat. Especially the RAM. Try running with minimum components, and conservative bios settings. Keep swapping components till you find the problem. A very unscientific way I use to check my system for heat problems is by turning off the heat (in...
