Windows XP crash

nhatnam · February 17th, 2003, 03:08 AM

my notebook usually turn-off (just powered of like you plug out all its power supplies, not a single notice) after a while playing heavy games. Can you tell me what's its problem ? I think it is overheat because at these times the bottom is very hot (may be up to 60C) , if that's it, any suggestion for me ?

Restart and check the BIOS (tap the DELETE key before it boots up) "PC Health Status".

There is a line that says "Shutdown Temp". If it is set at 60C raise it to 65C. Otherwise you got too much heat and you need a Playstation. Notebooks are lower-wattage CPUs and shouldn't get as hot as an OC'd XP2000.

Hope this helps.

I saw in another post you running a desktop xp2000 in your laptop? That is a HOT chip that needs a good HSF. You will need better cooling on that bad boy. But check the BIOS too.

I can not do anything with the BIOS because there is not thing there, so beside the coolpad, is there anything I can do to that 'bad boy' ? I got the coolpad already and i make it run everytime I start the system, yet still seems to be no better.
