Hello. I managed to fix my hard disc but now other problem.. This has been troubling for about a year now but now it got even worse. When i try to turn on my pc it says that system temperature is 255 and it just freezes there and doesn't boot . Few months ago i only had to restart the pc couple of times .. But now sometimes i have to restart it 200 times + for it to boot.. Anyone got a solution how to fix this? Thnx.

Is this a laptop or desktop?
Are you getting any beeps when you turn it on?
When was the last time you cleaned the inside of the system out if it is a desktop?
It sounds like your cpu fan has failed or is failing.

This is a desktop. No beeps. Cleaned yesterday. Fan is fine when it actually boots normaly it shows that the temp is 18*c ~

So is it not turning on most of the time?
That could mean a PSU issue.

This sounds like a bios problem. Try to reset the bios (using the bios jumper) and if that don't work, reinstall it.

Yea it rarely boots up :-S

OK I may have misquoted, is it turning on every time or not?
Sorry I've been trying to fix a dryer here so i'm running back and forth.

It turns on but most of the time it freezes before windows even starts to boot. It says system temperature is 255.

Edit: sorry for doublepost i'm on my phone so it's annoying.
Edit2: Reseting bios didn't work.

That still sounds like the PSU is not powering the cpu fan and the shutdown occurs because the newer cpu's have a thermal shutdown in them to keep from causing damage to the cpu.
Check the fan in the PSU when you turn it on and make sure it is turning or it stops and the shutdown occurs.

Every fan spins correctly i been sitting inside my pc box half of day yesterday.. All fans work perfectly . As someone said this may be my bios problem my bios haven`t been updated since December 24th 2003... Ugh can anyone give me atleast name of the bioses + newer version? I think i would find them somewhere in the net for free... Bios Specs :

Is this a name brand system or a custom built?
If name brand what make and model?
BIOS upgrade will depend on motherboard and not the BIOS itself.
Was the system working correctly at all before as you said it started a year ago?

It`s custom built.. . System was working wonderfuly until it started to do that... I managed to turn on my pc now and downloaded SpeedFan from this web and look -> http://i42.tinypic.com/wlzkmx.jpg .. Maybe one sensor is not working correctly? And is there a way to turn it off? I just recheked my computer and there`s only 1 thing that is hot but it`s definetaly not 128C* hot... Here`s the part : http://i41.tinypic.com/x6g6qd.jpg.. And another thing are these voltages okay? http://i42.tinypic.com/t85f5z.jpg .. Sorry for not adding [img] tags but the pics are too big.
