Cpu wears out?

My xp1700 system used to crash a lot. No rhyme, no reason. I clocked down to
xp1500 and it's been working fine. My guess is that my cpu's getting worn
out. Fact?

What was the temperature the CPU was operating @ with 1700 setting? Is it a
Palamino core?

I should have been more specific. :)

It's a thoroughbred "A". It ran around 50-55c at 1700. Now at 1500 I'm
showing 42-45. I'm using volcano 9 heatsink with fan full blast.

Reading 50-55C, if the motherboard is using a sensor under the cpu on the
board rather than the one in the cpu itself, the cpu could have been going
over the magic 60C border to instability.

Also be sure to have a case fan.

You can test the accuracy of your cpu using the free prime95, set for
torture test. If it runs ok overnight, it should be ok, though some say 24
hours.

Although 50-55c should not cause problems for this processor, the temp. does
seem high considering that your Thermaltake Volcano 9 is running @ 4800rpm!
Is there any dust caught in the HS? Have you tried reseating the HS? For
reseating, I strongly recommend Arctic Silver thermal paste! How many fans
do you have in the case ( intake and output )? What's room temp?

Might try the case fan on the back instead.

Also might try the cpu fan blowing up.

A long time ago I had a 486SX20 overclocked to 33MHz for a couple of
years. It started crashing first slowly, then a lot more often. Finally
clocked it back down to 20MHz and it ran fine there. So yes, they do fail.
OTOH, had a pentium that I had to clock down because some of the caps
around the cpu were bad and it would run ok underclocked, but not at
normal speed *in that board*. Ran fine in others, so it could be a power
problem.

Yea, it can be the mobo. Both the mobo and the cpu is 4 years old.

Second that. My unlocked Barton XP 2500 will take 200 as a FSB and run
stable forever after 2 years of anywhere between 201 and 223 rock solid.
Same symptoms as you describe. Core never over 50, susually 38-42 degrees.
RAM is fine.
I'm sad; but realize those were the good old days, and live with 200, as
it's still faster than the core is rated at. (Also have a couple mobile
2500's if I ever REALLY get bored.)

Once in a while I keep hoping the AMD fairy will have sprinkled some dust on
it, but when ever I try an kick it up, it just sits and stares back or
reboots itself ad infinitum.

Power supply weak?

Either that or check the BIOS for the correct CPU voltage.

And check for bursted or leaking caps or ones that are starting to expand,
with domed tops.
