I recently had some blue screens coming out once a week , as I tried reinstalling the windows to see if this would resolve the problem but it has not , there for I checked out some diffrent sites and FAQ's with guides to solve the problem , a short notice later I cam by a program that would check the fan speed of my computer with the cpu temperature which was over 100 degrees steadly , I somewhat knew this isn't correct and there for though of buying a new cooler which I have.

My computer speccs are

Intel P4 3.0Ghz
MSI 865PE Neo-2-V
Radeon 9600
2x 512 DDR

Could there be a problem within these that would cause my computer to shutdown frequently

I can barely get into my system before it already has shutdown

You might try posting this in the forum for windows. The main problem with "blue screens of death" is the OS itself. Download PCLinuxOS and use it and your blue screens are over.

Well, this is a shared forum for both the NT and Linux forums, so it shows up on both main forums.

You can check the cpu temperature under the "PC Health" status main menu in the bios.

Also, check the setting in the bios on the main menu "Load High Performance/Bios setup Defaults" and see if it is set for High Performance rather than the Bios defaults. Setting it back to the Bios default settings can solve stability issues.

Have you changed any bios settings recently or added more ram?

My friend has exactly the same problem. I have fixed it twice for her in the last couple of months.

Sorry if this is too late your chip may already be fryed (although hers' has survived).

I don't think anyone has mentioned:

1. Switch off computer.
2. open case.
3. ground yourself.
4. clean all of the dust out of your case (make sure the cpu heat-sink is as clear as possible)

It should work as new now. But try to find a place for it (away from carpets and radiators).

So BIOS's have a setting to shutdown if the tempature reaches a given number. You might check that.
