Overheating problem P4.

[jerry]

I had an over heating problem on a P4 and d865PERL MB. There were some
things that made me suspicious that it was really overheating. I did a
search on "thermal event" and found a thread that solved my problem.
The title of the thread was "Bizarre Overheating Issue". JAD suggested
a psu problem disguised as a thermal issue.
The original poster replaced the psu and had no further problem (since
Jan 06).

I also replaced the psu with a new larger one and for 2 weeks now have
been "thermal event" free.

I have no idea how the psu could cause a thermal event but cannot deny
the fact that it did solve the problem in another situation.

Hope this will help someone else.

Depending on how it is designed, it could be disrupting the airflow
through the case.

Different PSUs move different amounts of air, which will change the temp
inside the case. More powerful PSUs will tend to move more air to cool
themslves and this will help remove heat from around the CPU.
