Remove the screen saver and see it it helps. If not, enter into safe mode and let the computer run for a while. See if it makes any difference. Enter device manager in control panel and see if there are any corrupt drivers (question or exclamation mark near the driver).

Well I have not found the problem. Someone please help!

[The Skeptic]

Download and run Everest Home edition (from my signature). Run: computer > sensor. Run your antivirus, while keeping Everest open. After about 10 minutes check and report temperatures and voltages. In your next post please confirm that you took the previous steps suggested and what the result were.

Ok heres the reportings....AVG found nothing. I dont know what the other program says. I did what you said. So I'm now guessing its a hardware problem. I shut it down all last night and when I got home I turned it on. Everything was working great until just a second ago when it froze for the first time today...

With Everest opened click on the + next to Computer in the left pane then click on Sensor. You will be able to see your temperature and voltage readings in the right pane. Post them after the computer has been run hard.

[Clemson4life81]

Hi Whiskyman I clicked on sensor only to see a grey screen.....

[Whiskeyman]

Too old of a system for a sensor that Everest can read. I would open it up to see if there is dust buildup on the processor fan and heatsink, if there is any, then blow them out with compressed air. Also check any air intakes in the case and make sure they are not clogged with dirt/dust. You could be overheating if air isn't getting in.

[The Skeptic]

After clicking on sensor please wait few second. Many times the window doesn't show up immediately. When opens up please report temps and voltages. If the page shows up but no values shown then enter bios, search for hardware monitir (or computer health, or something similar) and report temps and voltages from there.

It is important to look at these values after the cpu was loaded for a while (e/g running antivirus for about 10 minutes).

Please do this before cleaning the cpu and repeat after you clean it.

[Clemson4life81]

Well I thought I fixed the problem by cleaning out my PC but it came back! WORSE! Now when I try to power up sometimes there is no display but the computer is on!

[The Skeptic]

1: We still want to know what temps and voltages are either from Everest or from the BIOS.

2: Teake out the memory modules, wipe the contacts carefully clean. Use a thin brush to clean the sockets. Reinstall.

3: Do the same with the video card and any other pci device.

4: If you have two video card, one integrated and one not, move the vodeo cable to the integrated one.


In your replies please be specific about what you did as related to what we suggested.

Alright I'm having trouble finding the BIOS tab in Everest.

[Whiskeyman]

Alright I'm having trouble finding the BIOS tab in Everest.

There is no Bios tab in Everest. Enter the Bios of your computer (usually by tapping the Delete key when booting) and look through the sections for your temperatures.
