Not a single thing Jack mentioned points to heat being an issue, its a wild stab in the dark. yep...stark raving bonking mad ! if those temps are correct a few pauses are going to turn into one permanent pause. as far as actually fixing the pauses it depends on if its actually pauses because of loading from the drive ie is the hd light flashing during the pause?. i have seen overheating pc's display the same symptoms, mostly overheating PSU's causing voltage drop while under load. if the pauseing is only in one game then its proberly just a game issue.	tweak'e (69)

I agree, its as bad as poeple saying "I think its a Motherboard problem". That one drives me nuts also. PEOPLE THE HUMAN COMFORT LEVEL IS 21 Celsius. 25C is not hot for a PC and that's assuming the case censor can be trusted for an accurate reading, and usually licking your finger and poking it inside you case and guessing will be just as close. NOT ONE PERSON ASKED WHAT TYPE OF CPU HE HAS, yep it matters when talking about temperatures. Maybe its the flux capacitor or the deflector array causing the problem!! Scotty try rebooting the warp core!	Battleneter (60)
388020	2005-09-13 22:44:00	most be early morning or something.....JJJJJ said ROOM temp was 25, case temp at idle was 38 and the fact that the case temp went up to 48 under load means the case has no airflow. 40+ degrees case temp is really bad for the pc. life span is reduce to half (roughly put)when you go over 40 degrees.	tweak'e (69)

JJJJJ said ROOM temp was 25, case temp at idle was 38 and the fact that the case temp went up to 48 under load means the case has no airflow . 40+ degrees case temp is really bad for the pc . life span is reduce to half (roughly put)when you go over 40 degrees . Just went back to read the original post he said 25C Air around PC (not sure how he measured that, its a mute issue) CPU 54C (fine for a Athlon or 3gig ish Intel CPU under load) MB 48C ( hard to say, this may be a sencore located under or near the CPU to give you an external CPU temperature, this would be the most likely and as such is fine) HDD 44C (Depends on the Make, but for a 7200 or 10000 RPM drive this is fine, they do get hot) He can take his case side off if he likes lol, but i would suggest a defrag first, or at least analyse to see if it needs it :rolleyes: . How about a background process stealing processor time? lol I would be looking at this issue also before issueing heat warnings . Your mistake is with "Case temp" you are assuming the MB reading is in fact a case temp wich is probably wrong, if his case temp was 40+ I would dare say his CPU temp would go way over 54C lol, way way over, its all relative .

Should be mandatary I get sick of asking all the time when someone wants help and they tell you nothing about their computer . They should know and if they dont then use windows to tell you and/or the free programmes that tell you . Such as: XP Home/Pro:Start, Control Panel,System Everest Home Edition PCMark 04 3DMark 05 SiSoftwear Sandra 2004 Belarc Advisor And many other free products as well no doubt . Could the Administrators make a sticky of those programmes and then when people ask for help and they dont post system specs . or dont know system specs . ,we can tell them to go to the sticky . You dont have to endose them or whatever just list them and say these may help you so you can help people to help you and they can download whatever one they want to use . They are all free as well . It would help all concerned and lead to faster help for people . Thank You . :thumbs: :2cents:	memphis (2869)
388026	2005-09-14 17:48:00	Sorry Memphis, didn't think system specs would have helped. Been doing a bit of experimenting.Things are back to normal again. I think my problem occured because of high ambient temp. and a prolonged vigourish flight. Couldn't reproduce the fault again. Inside of case still spotless and cables all neatly stowed.Fans all working. My video card (Radeon 9800 pro) seems to be running a bit warmer ,but no probes on it. Can still hold a finger on it though. I have had a new monitor (Viewsonic 19" Field Value Monitor ViewSonic VX924 [NoDB] (PS3052201238)) Running in DVI. Do these use more power (and more heat) ? Thanks to everyone for suggestions. :confused:	JJJJJ (528)
