Fixed that for you...

have a 80 gig harddisk,so i need to upgrade that anyways.
and im gonna buy some ram (small stick),and a motherboard.
should cost me £100 in all

you're probably getting this stuff anyway, but it doesn't sound like that would fix anything for you - it's almost definitely a heat issue with cpu2. turn the pc on with the case open to make sure the fan above your heatsink is actually spinning

what do you mean by 'motherboard disk' by the way?

whatever you do don't listen to things like

GET A MACINTOSH.

especially considering things like http://secunia.com/product/96/

what cpu have u got?
if its 939 dfi lanparty make exellent boards
i got mine for £35 (its a bargain)

and as someone said keeping fans etc clean and work really helps .

I recently got a £2200 set-up (E6700 Core 2 Duo, 2Gb Ram, 512Mb 7900GTX Graphics, 600Gb HD etc.) & shit started crashing on me...

Turns out that it was DUST & crap inside the box causing overheat & shut-down.

Regularly clean-out your system. Allow it good ventilation & perhaps sing / talk dirty to it, & it'll love love you like only a beaten dog can...

defo check the cpu fan, my bro had the same problem when playin games and he thought it was the graphics card over heating.

his solution was open the side and shuve a room fan facing the computer.

luckely i had a look and it turned out his CPU fan had died and hadnt been running for the last couple weeks. changed the fan, now it runs perfectly.

in ur case ur second cpu is running way to hot. average should be around 40-50 C depending on wat ur doing and how gd ur heatsink and fan is. latest cpu's run even less then that.

give us a run down of ur machine specs.

creepz wrote:well if thats what uve got thoose temps r way to hot im clocked from 2.oghz to 2.6 and mines no where near that give inside a delicate hoover or get some dust off or what ever it called then report bk
And ure hl2 does that crash to desktop? if so could be ram timmings i use 4 x256 mb sticks it puts alot of strain on the memory controller which is on the cpu unlike intel
the remedys are buy 2 x 1012 or adjust ram timmings in bios

and lanparty aint value boards mate there elite tweeking boards mine was at reasonable price not for long tho lol

peace

why is one cpu's voltage nearly double the other's? is that normal?

also, looking at that screen it looks like you've only got 1 cpu fan?



is it dual core cpu and not 2x cpu's ?

try this programe to delve deeper

cpuz

just google it it will tell us allkinds

creepz wrote:definetly heats sink fan , or cpu

right try this with pc switched on and side panel removed look at fans so u can see them all spinning (if cpu fan not spinning bingo) now turn off pc and see if the cpu fan slows down or just stops . if it stops dead while rest slowdown till they stop then ure fan naffed get replacemnt from almost any pc shop if that wasnt problem u really need to test the cpu in somebody else's motherboard , i have a similar gfx card and the ram on thoose is solid as so that shouldnt be problem , if alls sorted cpu wise and u still get crashes try removeing two sticks of ram

process of elimination compadre

if u want a good cpu cooler artic cooling freezer 64 pro costs around £15 to £20 inc delivery and is worth twice that , i sware by mine and im heavily overclocked

this should give you an error msg rather than restart. may tell you what the problem is.

thanks
i didnt know,u could do that on windows. about 2 hrs ago i was going to work in safe mode so i pressed f5 to f7 i could remember which was which. and i clicked on that option. and the pc has not closed down on me once since
