Hello all, I have a E5200 Pentium Dual-Core processor, ASUS P5K-V, 4GBs of RAM and a 8800 GTS. My OS is Windows XP Pro SP2. My CPU/GPU temps are (tested using SpeedFan) 45C and 55-59C while idle, 55-60C and 70C while playing games (in this case, Team Fortress 2 and L4D2). My computer has been freezing randomly for about 2 weeks. It usually happens when I turn it on (usually after loading Windows, when all the desktop stuff shows, but sometimes it freezes even before Windows start). More often, it freezes when I make a slight physical contact with the case (like slightly pushing it). I scanned my computer and there are no viruses and I myself believe this is a hardware-related problem. What could be the cause of the problem? Is it because my CPU/GPU is overheated? Is my power supply failing? EDIT: I tried using Hardware Monitor to check the voltages reading. Vcore: 1.14 V VIN1: 1.70 V +3.3V: 3.30 V +5V: 4.94 V +12V: 8.36 V VIN5: 1.72 V VIN6: 1.22 V EDIT 2: Looks like HMonitor is incorrect. Here are the readings from my BIOS: Vcore: 1.200 V 3.3V: 3.296 V 5V: 5.160 V 12V: 11.872 V Everything seemed fine, except for the GPU/CPU temps I think. Is that the cause of freezing? Help appreciated.
Open the case and check all fans to make sure they are working, Is this pc getting hot in any way ? Also sounds like it might have a short somewhere.. This is one of those deals where you will have to through EVERYTHING and test and check...
