Hey,
After much hassle (And dust bunnies in my face) I come to the conclusion that the reason my PC freezes/Locks-Up is because it's overheating. 'mazing, ain't it? Anyways, I've installed CPU Cool to check out my Temps. I've cleaned up the Fans. And it seems my Temps are still in high places. Temp 1 is normal, around 25 Celcius (Spelled right?) And Temp 2 (Dunno why there is a second one) is near 80 Celcius. Whenever I run games or something resourceful, it freezes.
So anyways, what do you guys think could be the problem for the computer overheating? I already unistalled my DVD drive and Disk Drive. Just left the CD-RW drive.
PS- I know some Basics about Computer so here are some specs.
Presario 6000
AMD Athlon 2200+ XP Home SP1
1.8 Ghz
736 RAM
Fans:
Well, eh, I know the Cooling one is Cooling Master, don't know what serial or part number. The power supply fan, however, runs very lightly, I don't know if has anything to do with it, though. It works, but, not as fast as the other two fans.
I had installed RAM thinking that was the cause, and it did help it for about 2 weeks then it locked up again.
Well, that's most of the info I could gather, if you need more data, tell me what you need and I'll look for it.
Many Thanks!
