Matthew585 Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 (edited) When I am playing a game like Counter-Strike Source about after 5-10 minutes of play I keep hearing the clicking noise from my computer. Occasionally the Game just locks up for no reason at anytime. then if it dosn't lock up during the game it locks up about 1 mintues after I exit out of any game. I temps during the game are about Processor 65C (Prescott Processor) and about 48C for the Video card. I am using speed fan for the Processor temp and a Temp probe for the video card. I don't know what is causing this problem and the temps inside my case are pretty cool about 30C the northbridge runs about 30C and my two hard drive run about 35C max. I have a cheap 420 watt power suppy that came with the case which might be the reason cause it is pretty crappy and the fan in it makes some horrible noises. My specs are 3.4 ghz Prescott HT Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb R360 Core 2 gb Ram 420 Watt PSU 40 gb 10000 RPMs 160 gb 7200 RPMs P4C800-E Mobo any help on this problem would be great, this locking up thing is starting to get annoying. I have a stock HS on the processor and Vid card I think gettin better ones might help, or a newer and better PSU. Thanks Edit heres a pic of my Speed fan power meters Edited November 26, 2005 by Matthew585 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenKittensATK Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 i think ur processor is overheating cause mines only around 40C and urs is like 20C above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchalogamer Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 well your CPU temps are hot to say the least, 60C is the highest i would let even a presshot..umm prescott core go...the PSU is likely playing a role in your stability aswell. Just which case did it come with? If you say Aspire X-Dreamer II then it is very liekly the problem. and if you say much of any other brand it's still likely a problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew585 Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 lol yeah it is the x-dreamer II ok thx for the help I am thinking about get a new heatsink for processor and a new power supply what are some good ones. I don't really want to spend more than 50$ on either HS or PSU. which is the best for the price. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
