What I suggest is that you once and for all, post here on this thread the actual Make and model number of your PC. This way anyone can do a search, and show you exactly what your mother board looks like. Also, if your CPU temp is that high, you are close to a max temperature and that is the probable cause of your freeze up. Several things can cause a temperature rise such as a fan that is not performing well, a ton of dust clogging everything, or poor ventilation.
So I ask you again, when can you post here your Make and Model of Computer?

This problem could be anything, but I don't think its the Fan or a "virus", I've been repairing computers for a while now and the only time I came across a computer freezing because of a fan was my own computer back 8 years ago, I think its either 80% hardware except the fan or 20% software. I had many computers freeze up because it was bad memory or the processor decided to crap out but give you hell before it did. If you are getting a good read on your fan and the temp is low then its not the fan, start with the memory first then look at other possibilities.

Another check is try the video card, if you don't have a videocard (might be onboard) then it could be something software, but I can tell you right now, its not the fan doing it

fgreco: ok I did that and it said 66 degrees celcious and 150 degrees farrinheight. sorry for my spelling.
If this is an ?idle temp? and it?s an Intel P4 CPU and its not a ?Willamette?, or even several AMD?s then Quote:
famous quote, ?Houston, we have a problem!?
All this guessing without knowing what we are dealing with...
We need the information from your PC, make and model which could give us the possible information needed such as your CPU, etc.

Balable, if you had read this entire thread you would have seen he had a temp of 66c which is high even for a prescott chip like mine which is at 52c. as he cannot find a fan or heatsink on the motherboard he has a heat problem. those rpm readings could be from the case fans not cpu fan. so until he gives more info on the board as in model#, everything points to temp problem.

do a memory test but more than likely its not your memory.... if your memory had errors you would get error messages while trying to run certain applications, but its worth a shot to eliminate one more thing.....

well, it froze agian and wasnt on too long. I noticed when it froze all the fans were not on. I did notice that they are always on. How much money do you think it would take to fix. If it were any of the problems that all of you have come up with. thanks again.

This is a re-post of what I asked before...
What I suggest is that you once and for all, post here on this thread the actual Make and model number of your PC. This way anyone can do a search, and show you exactly what your mother board looks like. Also, if your CPU temp is that high, you are close to a max temperature and that is the probable cause of your freeze up. Several things can cause a temperature rise such as a fan that is not performing well, a ton of dust clogging everything, or poor ventilation.
So I ask you for the third time, will you post here your Make and Model of Computer?
You are asking questions and not responding to ours!

Iiam sorry I thought I did. Ok here it is hewlitt pacakard pivillion a620n. 3200+ amd processor.
p.s. I have a 60 watt light bolb right next to the PC. I put in like a 40 and it was on for a long time without freezing. I didnt check the temperture at that time sorry.
Ps#2 I will do that test you gave me right away when I get on my computer.
Oh my I am sorry to all of you I didnt see all to posts you were giving me I still thought there was only one page to this thread and was looking at page number one not thinking there were any more posts.

a heatsink is black or aluminum colored piece of metal made up of fins with the fan attached to it

see if cpu fan power connector is attached to the cpu connector & not the system connector on the motherboard. also check that the cpu heatsink is flat & square over cpu, not offset as can happen

everything seems to be ok. I do think it is a heat problem because I have the cpu on and it froze. I check the heat of the fan like you told me to do before and it was 156 degrees fariheit. The power supply blows out hot air instead of warm or cool.
Just a thought do you guys think it could be the power supply?

My computer froze again I dont know why it is doing this. Everything is working the right way. I do have a nvidia g-force 128 mg video card. I disabled the intergrated graphics and then downloaded the card. Could it be the card. Should I reload the card. Should I take the card out and see what happends I dont know what to do. i think Ill take it to a shop.
