pc self-rebooting

by Nugis • 22 Dec 2008, 16:15 • Journals
my pc is self-rebooting whenever I open something that requires higher cpu usage. I can play ET for around 2-3 minutes tops until it reboots again. I checked my cpu temperature using speedfan and it runs at around 42-43 degrees. is it really that abnormal since I had more than 40 on my old pc and never had any problems.

my cpu usage is actually really low even when I have loaded ET. what is more, I have already been to the repairs and had my fan exchanged, but it seems to me that it has got only worse. so, could it be caused by the overheating, and if it is, is there some way to make my fan run faster?

i think it's something completly different.

reboot, then press F8 after the bios boot picture and BEFORE the winxp loader picture.

there choose that winxp will NOT automatically reboot on system failures or such.
now you will see the bluescreen and know what is causing the mess as soon as your pc fails again.
