overheating problem

[mcmk]

The problem started when I turned the computer on. I when out and came back and the screen was black and nothing worked.
I turned it off and then on and this time it took a lot to start. It was to slow. I checked inside the computer and the video card, the RAM and the HD were all overheated. Its that normal becasue I dont think that hapened before. Right now the computer is working fine but it's still a little slow. And it only takes some minutes for the things to get overheated.

Would you mind posting up your system specs? Also, go into your bios and see just how hot your system is getting...post up a little more info and we'll do the best we can.

Use this utility to check your temps.

here is the temps

HD-118*F
CPU-100*F
Board 98*F

I couldn't get the temp for the video card
thanks for the link pickel

Temps seem ok , I would think. If you're worried, add another fan to draw more air thru the box. If your power suplly just draws fron the back,, cut out the bottom and install a screen so it draws air over the cpu. I did that on my last build.

This may sound really trivial, but have you tried running the computer without the cover and check temps.

This will allow you to determine whether its an insolation problem or hardware is just running in high temps, but as pickel state the temps seem fine.

just throwing ideas around

good luck

thanks guys for every thing. Today everything is working fine, and I guess the heating is normal.
