puntoMX Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I presume it’s an Intel system? Just clean out the cooler and the thermal grease between the CPU and cooler and put some new thermal grease there .It’s sure a heat problem.Check also:- Capacitors- Power supply- reseat RAM and Video Card (if it has one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
