  1. if you fear overheating,

    Make sure:

    The computer isn't inside of a restrictive area. Fans should have over a foot of free space to displace heat.

    The fans aren't dirty.

    If the fans are dirty, it's a sign all sorts of parts are dirty.  Dust contains heat, keeping fans from working correctly, and keeping heat right on your CPU, mem, and other parts, as they are probably dirty too.

    All fans are running. especially the one on your CPU's heatsink.

    If everything looks okay but your CPU is still hot:

    The sensor could be faulty (this is rare)

    or the heatsink may need to be reseated after removing all thermal grease and applying new one.


  2. For over heat check out the cables...and smps...box...

    Do u want 2 be sharing files&document btw d 2 pc without internet or u want d 2 pc to be on internet? if its sharing ur documents,file&printer without internet btw d 2pc then u must get a cross-cable. But if u want d 2 pc on internet then u hv to configure router so tht it serve as ur gateway, by setting ip given by ur ISP as ur default gateway&create and ip for d 2 pc. for example

    COMPUTER 1

    IP 192.168.1.2

    SUBNET-MASK 255.255.255.0

    DEFAULT GATEWAY 192.168.1.1

    COMPUTER 2

    IP 192.168.1.1

    SUBNET-MASK 255.255.255.0

    DEFAULT GATEWAY 192.168.1.1

  3. Just put your hand in the fan exhaust exit if you feel hot air coming out your computer is ok if you don't feel anything then the fan of your power supply unit is busted and you need to immediately replace it.

  4. Your CPU is definitely running hot, try checking the ventilation on your computer case, clear all the vents of dust and debris. If this fails open the side of the case and check to see if the CPU fan is working, if not buy a new one from any on-line retailer and fit it, they are cheap and easy to fit. In the mean time leave the side of the case off and just point a normal desktop fan at it.

  5. Could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software. This  problem can be solved by uninstalling new software, updating device drivers and making minor configuration changes .

  6. yes... it is  .. im sorry to tell you. get a new one
