hi, help!

[quintinius]

lol i had to go to a shop and hand over my earnings from about 5000000papers to get the ram fitted and buy it also one other thing is i dont have a video card...

i have only just turned it on so its not like 70-80 right now

[GoNz0]

you should have asked em to reseat the heatsink while it was there, at idle thats a little on the high side, and if it gets back into the 70's again i dare say you will crash.

[Thorsson]

Well it's hotter than my dual core that is at 100% CPU usage, so that's not good. Can you select the Computer/Summary section on the left pane and copy what it says under Motherboard, CPU Type? I want to check that your voltage is correct.

Edit: Because it looks very high to me.

[Thorsson]

According to Intel's website the fastest Celeron D processor is 3.2GHz, and that should be volted at 1.25-1.325V. If you really have a Celeron D I'm surprised it hasn't blown up at 2.16V.

Possibly your local "expert" mucked something up when he added the RAM, although your 3.3V rail is way out of spec, so your PSU may be causing problems (if Everest is picking it up correctly).

[quintinius]

ah crap lol i just looked at properties in my computer and my cpu is 2.40ghz nor 3.4 soz

[Thorsson]

I'm not aware of a Celeron 2.4GHz. Please check the CPU under Everest. There is a Pentium 4 at 2.4GHz, and that should be on 1.525V. Whatever, it looks as if your CPU voltage is set way too high. The only way to change this (probably just back to default) is to go into the BIOS.

Don't you have a motherboard manual, or was this a pre-built system from somewhere?

[quintinius]

its pre built the manufacturrs were called eagle and i got this comp cheap becoz my moms work were selling them becoz they were getting them cheap and were offered to staff aswell as the office itself

[GoNz0]

do this..

hit the start button (with the mouse not your fist) and then press the run button, when that little box pops up type into it

dxdiag

hit enter

when the window pops up, give it 20 seconds to complete its scan, you will see a green loading bar like the scrolling bar when windows is loading just above the help button thats at the bottom left of the dxdiag window. when that stops moving press the save all info button and save the file to your desktop.

then go open the file and post the 1st section, it looks like

i only want it as far as the bit that says DxDiag Notes, in other words the 1st section, that contains your CPU info so we can clear this up

[acrobat]

Yeah what GoNz0 said, is your best bet. That will show for sure, what your CPU is. Then once we know what it is, we can find out what voltage it needs to be. And then you can set that in the BIOS quite easily. And that would likely fix everything.

ok thats it i never heard of dxdiag before lol noob>>>>>quintinius<<<<<noob

http://www.techpowerup.com/cpudb/details.php?id=309 - looks like there is a 2.4GHz Celeron, and it wants 1.55V - so you're certainly right about it getting a bit too much voltage

[quintinius]

ok how to i set it to 1.55V?

[godsdog]

ok thats it i never heard of dxdiag before lol noob>>>>>quintinius<<<<<noob
