jl-heating Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 check on bios the temp cut out settings then check the temp of the pc while running.. sounds like a safety shut down
baby_sarah Posted March 2, 2008 Author Posted March 2, 2008 how do i get past this safty shut down as i am gettin fed up of it cutting out on me
Eric_Collins Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 there is one thing that kinda screaming at me here, The CPU may be lacking Thermal Paste and or better ventilation. It could also be the Fan you have placed on the Chipset/onboard VGA card, It maybe causing vibrations so it's kinda lifting off the heatink. The PSU is a quality branded one and 400wtts is ample for your PC as it's an all in one wonder board.
baby_sarah Posted March 2, 2008 Author Posted March 2, 2008 i have just been to the bois and the 'shut down tempuatre' was diabled i have just enabled it at 70.c/158.f to see if this helps in any way
newvanandman Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 I doubt its a temp thing,my guess at the moment is a driver. How often does it cut out?Is it any one thing that seems to cause it? Try leaving it in bios for a while,if it dosnt cut out in bios its quite likley to be a driver issue. If it does cut out in bios then you will know its hardware or temp.but my gut feeling is it wont.
