I think my computer has a overheating problem with the processor, but i'm not sure. Sometimes my computer turns off automatically without warning. Then I turn on the pc and a few seconds later he turns off again. I need to wait 2 minutes to finally start the pc. And i think this only happens when i'm playing some game, but again i'm not sure. Can anyone help me??? THKS P.S.: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ 2.38GHz (CPU temp is usualy around 55șC) 2Gb RAM Motherboard: Asrock AliveNF6G-DVI Graphics: nVidia 6200 Turbocache Windows Xp |

What you are describing could well be a overheating issue. Have you opened the case to see if it needs to be cleaned out? Look especially close at the PCU fan and heat sink assembly, this is the most critical area.
If you don't have a dust problem then you might want to look in the Event Viewer to see what errors are showing up at the times that it is shutting down. Each event has a date and time, look for the error that occur at those times that you are having problems. Start> right click on My Computer> Manage> Event Viewer. Be sure that you choose System. The error will appear in the far left column and will appear as a red dot with a white X inside. Each of the columns has a title at the top of them, the column that you want is the Event column. When you see an error follow it to the right across the page to the event column, there will be a set of numbers in there, this is the error code. If you right click on the error code a drop menu will appear, click on Properties, another page will open which will contain a description of the error. Please post the error codes and descriptions back in this topic. -------------------- "I would never join any club that would have me as a member" Groucho Marx
