IT HELP!
 

My pc keeps over heating and freezing up. the fan does not turn very fast except this morning when it was at a hight speed all the time (very loud) but now it is back to how it was

how can i fix it? and why is it doing this?

Sounds like you need a new fan & some new heat compound between your coolings fins and the processor :wink:

I Would agree with cloggsy :)

I've just received a brand new super-duper fan in the post today, supposed to be ultra quiet and looks really funky:

I've got the Katana, and it's one of this weekend's little jobs.

(I've dealt with this company before and their service is excellent)

I want the zalman 9500, ive got a older 7700 but hey upgrade.

I also want a zalman for my graphics card, i want my computer dead quiet.
3hdds does not help though.

It good at the mo.

Yes they've got some very nice kit on there, and I too want a super quiet PC, and will be building one in a few months time.

What the others have said about a new fan and some heat compound is good advice.

One more thing to check, have you made sure that you PC isnt buried under a pile of papers / magazines and theres enough room for air to circulate around it.

We have problems like this all the time at work, and you go to look at the PC and find that the end user has buried the PC under piles of paperwork and everything underneath their desk and all the cooling vents etc are blocked so it just overheats.

the pc is only a couple of months old and has as much air as it needs.
but it is near a raiditor

Have had same problem at work before with PC's that had AMD processors

Some ran so hot they actually discoloured the mother board :shock:

Fitted some heavy duty cooling fins & fan which sorted the problems

Also have found that if the ambient temp in the room is quite high, i.e. usually about 35-40 C in most of the girlie's office's in our place :roll: , some pc's occasionaly fall over

Shouldnt worry too much about the radiator. As long as its in normal ambient room temperature it'll be fine. You should see some sites i've seen PC's in!
