overheat cpu graphics power sup. any progys to check?

hi all, my pc is crashing on programs and games. i think something is overheating or malware prob,,,,, cpu, graphics card, hhd or power sup. ive cleaned the insides, all fans are working. i have it open with a house fan on it and it run ok.
[[anyone know of good freeware to check this? ive ran ccleaner others, error check ect.]]
Microsoft Windows XP sp1
compaq AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2100+

Try downloading everest home edition on google , it will tell you the temperatures and much more information.

 

found it here at majorgeeks Everest 2.20 freeware ,,, thanks

ellis902, neat progy, my upc is running at 41c or 106f temp ,, is that high?, i have it open with a home fan on it too

 

Whats a upc?

If it's your CPU 41c at idle Thats warm, What's the Load temp
I'd suggest keep the Max temp to 50c or less ( higher temps will shorten it's life, once your over 60c noticeable problem's began to occur such as crash/freeze up's)

Whats about your graphics card any temps listed in Everest? GPU temp?

A couple other things that can cause crashing, weak PSU or Bad er failing memory

I noticed your specs say "Windows XP SP1"
Your not running SP2, Why?
Not legit?

 

106 F/41c is not toooo high, you might try posting a screen shot like this


You can use ScreenHunter 5.0 to capture link http://www.wisdom-soft.com/products/screenhunter_free.htm

I'd like to see your PSU voltages, it could also be a RAM problem, but first try to post a screen shot of Everest if you can. Hope that Helps

 

ok guys i should be on sp2, its the real window.
Temperatures:
Motherboard 43 °C (109 °F)
CPU 51 °C (124 °F)
GPU 48 °C (118 °F)
GPU Ambient 41 °C (106 °F)

well game play Temperatures:
Motherboard 44 °C (115 °F)
CPU 66 °C (154 °F)
GPU 65 °C (149 °F)
GPU Ambient 45 °C (117 °F)

 

its been hot here in australia 41c 106f to
but will sp2 help this prob?

 

@ASUS , my spelling is bad, i grow up in chicago and won the Spelling Bee with the word '' window '' used in a sentence like , [Yo da bird flyed in yo window]

 

Yikes! Your temps are dangerous, as I said a XP2100 over 60C is a problem & will be problematic

Your GPU is probably OK if the Temp reading is acurate? Most VC's can run hotter


Also note most temps sensors are not very accurate, in reality your temps could be Hotter or cooler, but since your Ambient is close to your MOBO temp I'll call it good


Better get some better cooling


I'm 30 miles north of Chicago, I use IE spell "LOL"
I'd like to go to Aus, but I'll need a room with AC

 

ok ASuS lol IE yes what help!
i gess ill take the pc up to the shop with the info ive got here.
some one told me it could catch fire or melt something
i hate pc probs
thanks of the help guys !!!!

 

The reason I wanted a screenshot was to see your Temps as well as your Voltages LOW VOLTAGE = HIGH TEMPS, you may simply have a PSU that is putting out low voltage yank101. Hope that Helps

 

ill try and find it and screen shoot it for ya BCGray

 

i dont have volts on my sensor properties just temps

is there a way to check the PSU through the bios somehow?

The Only way to accurately test Voltages is with a Multimeter
How to test PSU voltages http://www.ochardware.com/articles/psuvolt/psuvolt.html

I've never seen low voltages cause high temps?
Seeing your ambient temps are high I highly doubt voltages is of any issue here.

Yank, ya might reset your CPU with some good Thermal Paste, AS5 or my favorite Artic Ceramique ( dont forget to clean both CPU & HS first)
Case Air flow can be very important to proper cooling

A great aftermarket socket A HS is a Thermalright SI-97a http://jab-tech.com/ThermalRight-SI-97A-pr-2999.html The only thing that might be better is water cooling

 

ASUS thanks for all your help!!! iam looking in to the Thermalright, i didnt know anything about it before. i dont have a volt meter but i could use one on more then the pc.
one thing i did was update the chipsets from compaq and change my AGP speed from +1 to + 4, its running a little cooler and iam not getting any crashes,,,,,,, i bookmarked the SI-97 site cheers

 

well ASUS i trying playing a game for about 10 min,,,, iam back to crashes
the one thing ive tryed is to find free bios drivers, mine date 2002. compaq is the screwyist site ever!!!!!!!!!!
