108657 2002-12-24 05:16:00 Hi Guys - I might have a problem with my P C Company PC overheating. Has anyone else suffered this problem with this company (or had freinds with same problem?). Any sharing of expereinces would be helpful. taxboy (2828)
108658 2002-12-24 05:25:00 what makes you thinks that it is over heating??? robsonde (120)
108659 2002-12-24 05:38:00 Just how did you check the temperatures? Elephant (599)
108660 2002-12-24 06:05:00 Taxboy, as has been suggested in a previous thread on this subject, keeping it all in one thread would help people understand your issues, what you have found, what has been suggested and could lead to a better level of assistance.

This is now your third thread on what is essentially the same subject?

For the benefit of others trying to help, I will link them
here (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) and here (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz)

108661 2002-12-24 06:07:00 Yea my machine is running warmer than it normally does, due to all the warm weather lately. Bambi (1486)
108662 2002-12-25 07:05:00 Yeah, thanks for your VALUABLE input - however the reason I started a new thread is not for more info on my others problems but to gather any expereinces with the Vendor that people have had - I've had plenty of help with the technical side - none of it from you tho - mostly from Tweak.

So i guess this is a nice way of saying MYOB.

108663 2002-12-25 08:34:00 I don't think PC Company computers are prone to overheating than any other brand.

If its relatively new, take it back to the shop. Thats what warrantees are all about. Let them sort it out

IMHO anyway

108664 2002-12-25 10:50:00 Yah ,thats my thoughts too - ta for input. taxboy (2828)
108665 2002-12-25 21:21:00 well going by the pcco pc's i've had a look at they are not good cooling wise. most HP/Compaqs that i've seen have quite well thought out cooling. pcco just seems to be "use cheap case and hope like hell it dosn't cook". the one and only case fan(psufan) its setup to fight against the cpu fan which makes it a little piontless. however they do have a new line of cases which i havn't checked out yet. tweak'e (174)
108666 2002-12-25 23:19:00 I've got a pc company machine here hasn't over heated but we had an extra case fan added when we got the thing to prevent that. (+$10). Falcdragon (919)
