overheat problem

[idealkrush]

hi there

lately my computer is shutting down without warning due to a overheating probleam as it says.In the message in the reboot it says that there was a thermal problem causing the cpu to shut down for security reasons.
But this doesnt seem to be true.Both my fans are working and the temperature is not that high as it says.In the bios settings the indicators rpm of both of my fans are 0 and the temperatures are

processor zone temp 94 c (this cant be true)
system zone 1 temp 47 c
system zone 2 temp 57. c

Something must be wrong with the temp sensor i guess.But in bios i cant change a thing.

Can anyone help me?
it happens more more often.I cant write a dvd or listen to music.
its a pain in the ***

desktop motherboard intel D865PERL

thanks in advance

94 c is way too hot. Are you using the stock CPU cooling fan/heat sink that shipped with the board? If so, that's the likely culprit. Check here for <a target="_blank" href=http://www.xoxide.com/insoc42pen4c.html>CPU Coolers</a> Zalman, Thermaltake, Artic Cooling or Coolmaster are good. Stay away from the cheap ones ... the $30 to $50 price range should be more than adequate. Also, use a good thermal compound such as Arctic Silver 5.

One more thing. The temps in the other two zones seem high as well. You might want to consider adding a cooling fan or two.

i have done the bios update already.
i have installed speedFAn and it says my cpu temp is around 90c.
but it gets higher everytime i try something like writing a dvd or play music and design in autocad.
the shuting down possibiliry is always there.
and the thing is that down there nothing is that hot.its preety cool i would say.and both fans work fine and continuesly

I am running a 2.80 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4 on an Intel D925XCV and the "at rest" processor zone temp is 36 c. System Zone 1 is 33 c and System Zone 2 is 37 c.

What processor are you using?

OK, next larger CPU from mine. Have you tried <a target="_blank" href=http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/software/idu/>Intel's desktop utility</a> (Hardware Monitor version) to see what temps it reads?

You need do something right away or you are going fry your processor and/or motherboard. I gave you a good suggestion, but if you are leery, take your computer to a local repair shop.

i made a very detail clening and i think i solved it.i think it was the dust in one of the fun itself.there was a layer that was preventing the air from circulating properly.
the temperatures from speedfan dropped now to 43!!!
that was it and not fake temperature indications.
thanks anyway guys for your help.

Dust sure can cause overheating problems, nice catch. /images/forums/icons/smile.gif
