Windows 7 CPU Temperature Error

NewfieEK · May 14, 2016

Using Windows 7 Past couple of days my computer has crashed when i rebooted it came up saying a CPU Temperature Error (Hit F1 to continue) What is the cause of this and what can i do to prevent it from happening again. If you needs more info let me know what you needs and where to find that info. Thanks

Opps just noticed this is in Win10 forum and not 7

That's way too hot. Are you running a stock cooling solution or in other words the cooler that came with the chip? If so you need to buy a third party solution.
This cooler is both cheap and very good at what it does:

The maximum temp Intel advise to not go beyond is 74c at the IHC:

The PSU info should be (if your lucky) written on the side of the actual PSU. The reason I say lucky is that sometimes the info label is on the side you can't see. Sometimes taking the back panel off helps but you'll have to see.

Hi Rich,
You have the Eagle Eye today. No, that Case is "Sick", and a great price too! Son drives a really nice 2010 Mustang GT that is white on exterior, with black interior and red interior lights; think he will like it. Many of the ones I was looking at are over $200! I've got a couple of Mobo's in mind too as I said. I'll just have to see if the Mobo's I'm looking at will fit the form-factor, and have room enough for fans and a CPU cooler that I want. I watched a 4hr. video from Whoosh I think that shows the assembly. I just bookmarked this Case on my parts list for the build. Thanks! I'll also be interested to see what cases William recommends.

Ha I never pay much more than that for a case...and I bought this one because of the ability to read drives without taking a side off. It has red plastic insets for front and as I said all the lights red and blue atre neat when its on.

That's think it's awesome Marc that you will be building your Son a custom rig He will remember it all his life, and treasure it I'm sure. That case that Rich built with is a very nice one and is sturdy too.
