Possible GPU or MoBo problem?

[M1GU31]

I recommend cooler master hyper TX3, I've been using it for almost a year already and my temps sit 33c idle even though it's Overclocked to 3.6 and the default clocks were 3.1. Max temps I get when under stress is about 44c. Also the great thing about it is it's a $23usd cpu heat sink and works way better then my default heat sink which had my cpu running at 45c idle and 55c under stress. I got mine at newegg though i'm sure they sell it else where http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103064&Tpk=cooler master hyper TX3

Supports these sockets for intel , Socket LGA 775/1156/1155, see yours is 775 so it should be ok if you got this or you can get the other one that was mentioned which is good too.

ok, hope that solves my problem... by your opinion, how are my other temperatures standing? do i have to change something else?

Your CPU temps are fine. 55c is nothing - save your money that is not your problem. Try reinstalling (the latest) video drivers. Run some memory tests. If those don;t tell you anything, you may have a failed graphics card.

http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/datasheet/306382.pdf

States the maximum temp for that P4 CPU is 66C at max power at which point the CPU will basically shut down and before reaching the shut down temperature it will throttle itself. The poster has been complaining of such issues at 55C. I suspect he needs a new cooler, I am sure he is still using the original OEM job which is marginal at best and after several years of work needs to be replaced.

Ok, so i have yesterday measured 59C! Game had stopped... I have a Intel LGA 775 standard cooler. Before i noticed the display problems, the fan was spinning @ 3500 rpm. Now, it is rotating @ 2360. On every boot it has less rpm...

As you can see in the following link : Hladnjaci, ventilatori i oprema - WinWin
in Serbia we have lots of good pc shops were you can by good stuff, and i can buy the Hyper TX3 for 34$.

1 euro = 112 din.
1 $ = 88 din.

 

[petko131]

That's quite normal I think. Just keep an eye out for abnormal readings, as Indianatone said. Change the heat sink as fast as possible, I have had good luck with CoolerMaster HyperTX3 for years now. They have other ranges of heat sinks too, if they're available in your locality.

Yea, i can buy the Hyper TX3 in my country.

I have already tried to install the latest drivers for y GPU-check out this tread to see what happened:
http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-cards/262314-ati-radeon-hd-5450-driver-problem.html. lets say that my pc started to lag even when i am browsing the net or on You-tube... My 3 GB of ram are in perfect condition, i did a memo test 1 week ago. I still think that the overheating CPU is the problem.

That will be a good purchase
Don't forget to post back after the new cooler is installed on your temps as this will help someone else out in the future.

As Geno said that is not the problem and honestly he is using a single core chip P4 that is hella slow he is lucky he got that far and im sure the GPU did most of the work

I can assure you your Temps are fine those chips can get up into the high 70's to 80c so your well within spec

if you are having fan speed changes and all go into bios and check your fan settings to the MB look around your bios for incorrect settings or if something has changed

If your performance has took a major dive and struggling to stay stable it maybe time to look into replacing your system

I would recommend replacing MB CPU RAM if everything else on your system is good that is all you will need and the trouble will go away more or less unless your card is starting to give out

 

[petko131]

Well... this is what I'll do:
1. I will buy a new CPU heat sink
2. Play the same games, and see if the problem appears again.
3. If so, i will then continue testing my components
4. If i put a core2quad Q6600 @ 2.44 GHz or a core2Duo(probably 2.6-3.0), i will have to change my CPU heat sink anyway? -Am i correct.
So buying a better CPU heat sink isn't a mistake as i can see.
BTW can i ask for some advice about upgrading my pc?
1. as Solarstarshines mentioned, I should change my CPU MB and RAM.
2. I would like to stay on this board
3. Probably I am going to put 4 GB of new memory
4. I need a good GPU, not only for gaming. I am not a addicted to games... probably a 1GB card, but with a higher clock.

p.s. I have 18 years. My parents don't buy me these kind of things, neither do they give me money. I work in order to buy myself something that i want. That's why i have so old component's (in average, my pc is from 2008.) I'd really like to have a modern machine, and i know where to get all the components in like 3 days. Just don't have the cash... :huh:

 

[Solarstarshines]

you could get a MB and Ram for about 90 bucks and this is up to date hardware the only real expense would be the CPU and if you are still going with Intel then you are looking to spend atlest 300.00

If you happen to get the quadcore model cpu if your board allows it then that would be the option the GPU will cost no matter how you look at it you want something better be ready to have atleast 150.00 available to buy other then that those are the key things you would need the ram if it is DDR2 is really expensive so is DDR1 that is why i said go with a newer board it is alot cheaper

 

[petko131]

I have forgot to mention, that my internet browsing speed is 3 times slower then it was a week ago. the CPU is running at 90-100% (before it was 0-40%) while loading a video on You-tube, or when chating on Facebook... My ram never got over 30% of use, even in the games where my CPU/GPU failed out. doesn't seem to bee that the RAM is causing this problem. I am using Mathon 3 as my web browser.

 

[Solarstarshines]

If you have facebook on and doing other things that is whats running your CPU use up
it has a flash player and java i think it activates my GPU fans when i open the Facebook page try doing things with out it being loaded are you happen to be using FIREFOX or IE?

 

[petko131]

I have only maxthon 3 installed, and IE (buy default). I have run several tabs earlier, including FB and YT. Didn't use my CPU as it does today.

I am 100% sure that you don't know Serbian, but maybe you can translate this page and suggest me what should i bee looking for. This is the best pc shop in my area.

2.CPUs: Procesori - WinWin
3.RAM: Ram memorije - WinWin
4.GPUs: Grafi

1 euro=112 din.

I am so so so so happy that someone is really trying to help me!
I have posted my problem to several forums, but no answer :mad2:

I don't know Serbian languge but i'll try
Don't worry about asking or getting help here you have a real issue and we like to see all of our members running the best there system can

Also what is your budget in terms of money you mentioned you work and don't have any help with personal things you want to buy

Im assuming this would be somewhere round $580.00 us 60.624,00 Din Im probably off a few dollars but that is close i can get to being accurate for what i used as a scale

also with a new video card and set up you need a little more power and that should be enough to get you over http://www.winwin.rs/racunari-i-kom...ite-12cm-fan-sli-80plus-rs-700-asabl3-eu.html

Now, in my pocket i have 120$, but not all of that money can bee spent an a pc upgrade. probably just the necessary interventions (probably only the heat sink) to save the rest of components. Through 3 months i expect to renew my pc entirely installing top quality components. Now, i would like to find out what should i be looking for. As you can see, in my near-buy shop i can buy all parts needed to make a pc. I don't need a 400$ mobo, 200$ GPU, 380$ CPU,.... Just a good quality machine that can run some games, on medium-maybe high settings... I mostly use my pc for fast web browsing, and, sometimes i play racing games (SBK2011, NFS Most Wanted2...).


Think your setup might bee a little to strong and expencive for me, but i will try to buy all these parts through out the few next months. I like the configuration that you "made" for me, it's top quality, and i belive it's fast as lightning compared to my P4 configuration

!!!!!!I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!!!!!!

p.s. What do you think about the components you can find in this shop? are they "up to date" with the US market?

Sorry if i made any grammar mistakes in my previous posts.

Pretty much the same standards there should be othere members here that may have input on a little cheaper price tag

I gave you a list of Intel parts because that is the brand you are using but you could try AMD but it is purly your choice

The build i suggested is strong and would last for some years

You could not buy a graphics card right away and use the on chip one for awhile.

For an AMD system use this CPU and board and keep the RAM and GPU from above.

Board http://www.winwin.rs/maticna-ploca-...-r2-0-pcie-ddr3-sata3-glan-raid-7-1-usb3.html

CPU http://www.winwin.rs/procesor-cpu-am3-amd-fx-4300-3-80ghz-8mb-black-edition-box-32nm.html

For a cost of 40,016 din.

The best thing to do is save enough until you can get all at one time. Prices may fall or new technology emerge in 5-6 months.

I might also suggest a quality Corsair, Seasonic, or Antec power supply in the 600W range.

 

[petko131]

That's how it's going to be. Thanks again

Intel makes good components-they last a little longer I guess, although in my country AMD comes a lot cheaper, I've been using AMD after I ditched p4! But, that's just me anyway
