| 130537 | 2003-03-24 14:22:00 | Hi Sometimes my pc would switch itself off with no warning whether im surfing, playing games or just being idle. I have a XP2000+ with a Soltek mb with auto cpu shutdown if it goes above a certain temp. Is this the auto shutdown at work here? Only recently did it start doing this & i'm only using the standard boxed fan that came with the cpu Thanks for any help you guys can provide |
