I need help desperately. Here is my problem:
When I am on my computer for over 30 minuted my computer will sometimes shut down out of nowhere. Also, when I am playing a game, like Counter-Strike, the program will crash or my computer will shutdown also. When I restart comp and try to play game or do something it shuts down again. I was thinking the problem was an overheating CPU or bad driver for the Vid card, but I just dont know. Can someone help me?
When I check the bios to see what my CPU temp is, its around 150-160 degrees Farenheit. Is this bad?
Here are my comp specs:
AMD XP 2200+
MSI K7N2 Nforce MotherBoard (MS-9670)
256Mb Crucial DDR 333 2700
ATI Radeon 9700 128Mb
230W Power Supply.
2 OnBoard Fans, 1 Directly over the CPU
Stock CPU/Heatsink FAN
Windows XP
Maxtor 40 Gb HD
Thanks a lot guys.
