CPU temps at 90-100

[Danny]

My pc start to lockup today when I'm playing online game
and even reboot itself. It display an error
regarding "memory dumb" Thought it has something to do
with ram in the first place. But when I go into Bios and
check under "hardware monitor" and was surprised to see
the temps of the CPU is running at 90-100.....last time it
used to run at 40-55. Another thing is the CPU fan is
running at 2500-3000plus RPM. (previously it run at 7000-
7500RPM)

So I go and bought a new heatsink which comes with a fan,
thinking that after swapping it with the existing one,
everything will be fine. But I'm wrong......after
insatlling the heatsink, I went into Bios under "hardware
monitor" to monitor the temps again, which is still
running at the same range "90-100"

I'm at a loss now......cos I couldn't tell where did it
went wrong???? Could it be due to failing CPU, ram, or
motherboard?? PLS HELP!!!!!!!! P/S: I'm using a INTEL
PENTIUM 4 CPU

Are these temps in F or C?

I run a consistant 118 F and have no problem.

Could it be a Farenheit vs. Centigrade thing?

I assume you are talking 90-100 F
Anytime you run in the high 50's or into the 60 C, you will more than
likely have heat problems.

When you replaced the unit, I also assume you used thermal grease so
you have a nice airtight seal between the sink and the CPU.

Get a memory checker and see if that can find anything.

Download Doc memory, follow instructions to create a floppy and let it
run for an hour or more.

This Intel pentium 4 comes with a thermal pad which is

black in colour just underneath its heatsink cum fan, so
you mean I still need to get a thermal grease? And what
has a memory check to do with high temperature? As for the
temps it shows CPU temps 94C/208F.....wondering could it
be CPU failing??

So Dave may be jumping into the "Whoa, that's too hot" mode a little early.

As for Thermal Grease making a difference - yes it can. But nothing
spectacular - we are talking maybe 1-2 degrees celcius.

If your CPU is actually reporting the temperatures you are giving us (and
that is not the Internal Chasis Temperature) - then YES.. Your CPU is
already dead. You are literally boiling water on it, CPUs should not BOIL
WATER.

For your system to run cooly, you should have some good circulation too. A
fan blowing into an over-heated case with no where to go because that case
is inside a closed desk with holes made just large enough to get the cables
to the computer is.. Foolish.

My suggestion, open that case, put a fan blowing into it (Big FAN - BOX Fan,
etc..) and monitor the temperature. If it does not drop dramatically - get
that warranty work going.

As for your question about memory checking - probably to make sure your
running at that high of a temperature for any length of time did not fry any
of the other components.

.By using simm memory tester, (cos i know that this is

mean for testing ram) am I able to detect motherboard
failure, let's say if is due to this? Any could anyone
kindly tell me where can I RMA PCCHIPS board to?? I look
at the motherboad site but couldn't find any detail
regarding about RMA the board.

Not quite water boiling temp - water boils at 212 F, not 208. But
good point, nevertheless. That's WAY to hot.

And you've already found your problem. Your fan is running slower, so
what did you do - ran out and bought a new HEAT SINK?????

It sounds like you should have ran out and bought a new FAN!

Replace that sucker, and hope you haven't already damaged the
processor beyond the point of no return.

Depends on where you live (your elevation above sea level actually..)

But - yeah - I was just trying to make a point, not exact science. *grin*
