overheating

Hey all, About two weeks ago my computer began behaving erratically while playing World of Warcraft and SW: Old Republic games where the games would crash to desktop, or where my computer would randomly reboot while in the middle of playing. Then this began to happen when not in the games and...

I completely upgraded my pc lately after a crash. Windows 7-64 bit, I used to have Windows XP Pro. I noticed that when playing hd-movies on the 24'' screen the video slightly stutters. Not after just switching on the pc, but later on. Also seems that RealPlayer doesn't give these effects, while...

A week ago i had to change my CPU cooler as it was failing & allowed my CPU to overheat which i found out after a few random reboots & touching the Heatsink on my CPU cooler to find out it was almost to hot to touch. Since then i have been getting random system lockups which i cant explain or...

Hi. Since yesterday my PC is giving me BSOD`s (Mostly on startup/logon, but some of them are random too.) The error codes seem to be 7a and f4. All the files you ask for in the how-to thread are attached. About my PC: Win7 x64 Ram: 12GB Corsair Vengeance triple kit. HDD: Western Digital...

Hi, Not sure if this is quite the right sub-forum, but none of the others quite fit the bill either. Anyway, I had great success with this forum (and Elmer in particular) in diagnosing and helping to fix the problem with my desktop. I'm now going for the double whammy and hoping for similar...

Hello, I just built a new computer and getting BSOD only when playing BF3. I have run prime 95 and IntelBurn test for over an hour and temps on the CPU are below 55c. Ran furry and tessilation tests on my video cards and nothing went over 80c. Reinstalled windows and made sure all drivers and...

Hi everyone I am experiencing an infamous BSOD, I don’t recall seen one of those since win 98 so I felt quite surprised at first, fortunately I found that win 7 creates a minidump file which I understand contains some information about the crash conditions, yet I have not been able to read it...

I've tried to cross correlate dates of driver installs with the problems and saw that ZoneAlarm was the problem in one of them but it doesn't correlate to the earlier dump problems... basically I'd been very stable for awhile then I got BF3... Firstly, my initial crashes were due to serious...

My hp laptop suddenly always starting with startup repair. It has been working fine for months and now it cant startup. Could this be caused by running a java game for too lonng? Or possibly overheating?

Alright, so I just got my new computer. And whenever I turn my computer on, it goes past the "Post Screen" and then continues to the point where it should boot. But, this is exactly what happens: This screen, also called the "Black Screen of Death" continues to blink for hours. I'm not...

I had 8 GiB of memory in my HP Pavilion dv7-4110em XE287EA#BED working at 1,066 MHz because one of the 2 4-GiB memory modules had a maximum frequency of 1,066 MHz. Today, I replaced that module with a 4-GiB module which can work at 1,333 MHz. So, now my 8 GiB of memory works at 1,333 MHz...

Hi All, Let me just start by saying, ARGGHGHGH; lol. I have had an expensive time with my computer recently but i am now beyond the brink and turning the tide of war to my favour. I have recently kitted my ailing PC out with a new SSD for the OS install. This is working great; i have just...

For those of you who are unfamiliar with origin, it is a program similar to steam. Downloads games and lets network. I only run it to play BF3 but when ever I close it, I get the BSoD: http://i.imgur.com/2dlja.png My system specs: OS: Windows 7 Ultimate Edition Processor (AMD Phenom™ II X4...

Hi Guys/Girls I have never had problems with my graphics card in the 2 ish years i have been running it, with top games etc. However just recently i have been having issues. I am playing Starcraft 2 and the game area starts to do like a pinstripe colour which moves around the game area. Then...

Hi Win 7 users. Questions please; not sure if this has been asked in a previous life.... Is there a problem with the Windows 7 software and the i7 chip? Does it make it work too hard and overheat? I ask because I have a Tosh i7 A660 Satellite with Ultimate Windows 7 and Office 2007 32-bit...

I`m back again. Having had my laptop for the best part of 18 months now and it suffering from an overheating Turion X2 Ultra so that I can`t run much of anything with even a 1280*720 medium gfx setting without grinding to a frazzled halt I`m thiinking maybe a new faster/cooler cpu and...

Hello everyone. I am having issues with my computer freezing. It's not frequent but it and it happens pretty much whenever it wants. I can be rendering a video in Premiere Pro CS5.5 or just downloading something with the system completely idle. I check the Windows Event Logs after every time I...

Hello, I get bluescreen many times when I shut down my computer and I thought that somebody can help me.... It's mot a rue but sometimes I get the bluescreen... Firstly I thought that it was because of overheating of some of my pc components because this error seems to appear when I use the...

So I've finally snapped. For over a year now I've been enduring this god forsaken problem, dismissing and ignoring it as much as I could whenever it reared its ugly head. I can take it NO MORE. My patience has run out! Now, as much as I like to think I'm good with computers, there's quite a...
