What is this CPU Temperature means?

[Zack1234]

I used HWiNFO64 to see if my computer is overheating.Under SMSC SCH5027 CPU's temperature is over 190°C.Its bad right?What is SMSC SCH5027 and what should I do?Any help is appreciated!

Go to bios and check temperature not over software because is incorrect.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess the hardware monitoring software is registering incorrect temps. Most CPUs are built to shut down at anywhere from 80-90C. This is an internal control and not one you set in the BIOS or anywhere else. I have one temp that consistently registers incorrectly in HWmonitor for the area around the CPU and has since the beginning. According to HWmonitor, my motherboard should be melting on me.

What make/model of PC is this? Or can you list the internal components if it's a homebuilt?

 

[Zack1234]

Thanks I'll see.I checked this because my monitor turn off and keyboard or mouse not working.I have to restart the machine manually.It's random and I don't know when it's going to happen again.Does this has something to do with it?

It's a Lenovo ThinkStation 6423 AQ7.What about +12V thing in the picture?Is it alright?I don't know how to read those.Sorry!

It has to be wrong. 203c is 397f

Your board would be smoking and close to ignighting at that temperature.

:\ thats one tough CPU . holy crap lol

Actually I think the side of his case would be glowing, nevermind the smoking etc

Now that you mention it, that could be an issue. You didn't mention the other symptoms in the original post. The 12V could actually be reading correctly. If you are having problems with monitor and keyboard failing... Are you still under warranty?

 

[ZionZA]

Sorry but I can't stop laughing at this. Have you tried realtemp or speedfan apps?

 

[Zack1234]

Yeah Sorry about that.No I am not under warranty.Although monitor and keyboard not working.CPU seems to working fine.I read that new Nvidia driver has problems so I removed that too.I had that VGA driver failing issue on firefox too.

 

[Zack1234]

This is from Speed Fan ZianZA.

 

[ZionZA]

Well then the app you were using is obviously not reading your temps correctly. Like the previous guys said though. The voltage could cause the keyboard and mouse issues

 

[Zack1234]

Oh I thought that he said it's correct.What you mean?That whole +12V line should 12?not 12v 10v 10v 10v?

 

[ZionZA]

I think he meant that the hwinfo app could actually be reading the voltage correctly. Meaning that the 10v is the actual reading but it would be off. Its suppose to be 12v. With it being so low it could be the reason for the other issues

So do I have to change my PSU?

So do I have to change my PSU?

I wouldn't do that just based on the readings from this program. It was WAY off on the CPU temp, so how can we assume it's correct on the voltage. Most of these OEM boards do some odd things with the sensors, so you can't really trust what you get out of the monitoring software.

When you say your keyboard and monitor stop working, what exactly do you mean? Does the screen go blank, or does it freeze? Can you still toggle numlock? Can you still move the cursor with the mouse?

One time it happened while I was away.there was no any serious programs running that time.Another time when playing a emulator game and then just after starting split second game I minimized it to close another program then it happened again.Yes Screen goes black and monitor light dims.I cant hear any sound from speaker or any beeps.numlock keys don't work.their lights either stays on or don't work.

I'm starting to think that your motherboard has just given up the ghost. Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to replace components in OEM built systems that are out of warranty. Your cheapest option would be a new case, power supply, processor (and probably RAM since this system uses DDR2 and all modern platforms use DDR3). Unfortunately, you won't be able to replace any of those components individually due to proprietary design.

 

[Zack1234]

Are you certain it's motherboard?I have a GTS450 graphic card.I removed it today and replaced with a 9300GS 256 card.Nothing happened so far.GTS450 uses more power right?Anyway Thanks for helping me!

 

[ZionZA]

First check your bios. There you should be able to monitor voltages etc

You assume all that from a pc that freezes?

Yeah. Do this. If you're seeing 10.4V on the 12V rail, the necessary power is not making it to your system's components.

 

[Zack1234]

I checked on bios there is nothing about voltages?

There usually isn't in OEM built systems. They aren't meant to be serviceable by the end user.
