don't use it if you're too hot :P

(open a side panel of the case and see if the temps drop, also a nice temporary solution is just putting a ventilator next to it when the case is open)

Waiting for "you need to take me to ur home cause I am oh so cool" answers =P

Put Ventilator next to it. Open the window. I guess that's the only working thing... Cause (if not your hardware is broken) all fans should work on teh max when pc is too hot, and if those fans can't call cpu down enough it will shut down.

Am Just an amateur tho :P

find out what exactly is too hot. if its cpu/gpu maybe check the heat sink compound and check if all fans are spinning

schNee 5 Jun 2008, 15:53
all r spinning... where can i find the heat of cpu n stuff?

get Everest to check them. When you're there you could also check voltages, that could be another reason why the system shuts down with no warning.
mainly +12V, +5V, +3.3V - the actual values of those should not differ more than 5%

clean the coolers inside too much dust decreasing the performance of the vents

When was the last time you opened up the case and cleaned all the dust and crap off the fans and intakes? That is one of the most common causes of overheating.

Before i can help you i need your specs, without them i can't tell you anything 'bout BIOS or stuff.
It is also useful to know when it shuts down, anytime? while playing? watching porn orwhatever...
Overclocked?

First step is fan cleaning and checking them anyways.

Next steps when i have your data ^^

First mistake i see is the ASRock board, but nvmd that ;)
Try in BIOS Failsafe Node, maybe it causes less performance, if this is any possible with an ASROck board... *cough*

Next thing is to check the newest Hyperion driver for your chipset, when you have the newest try an older one. (only makes sense when you hadn't porbs with older driver.

Maybe you may try to disable onboard sound, if you didn't yet - i heard there could be some probs.

buy an aquarium and fill it up with oil... build your components into the aquarium

dont forget to keep all the fans cuz they are gonna keep the oil circulating

(gonna do this in the summer)
