Gigabyte/ AMD 2000 problem
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: Bob A.
I am having a problem with my system that I built last month. Here is the system spec's:
Gigabyte ga7vaxp
AMD 2000
Radeon 7500
Soundblaster 128
256 ddr 400
Win 98 2nd edition
Now I am not, shall we say, the best with computers. My brother is a tech and he talked me through everything.
First, I am running hot, (CPU 75C, System 49C). The fans are running fine but it still will not cool down. Second, about every 30-40 minutes the computer reboots, here is the odd part, it is rebooting but it does not shut off. I can hear it re-booting and the system will hang momentarily, but it continues to run and does not shut down. Could this be heat related or are the problems seperate. Like I said, the computer is running normal except for this. Any assistance would be helpful.
Thank you.

That is very hot . the rebooting and stuff is definataley due to that I think, that is typical overheating behavior. Your mobo (most do) has some overheat protection that will shutdown or reboot due to heat.

probably the heat. ok, your cpu is running 25 over the motherboard. which is a bit high, but not ungodly. so the case temperature is the first problem.
at those temps, as a temporary measure open the case and turn a floor fan on it. youre close to cooking that cpu. now, sit on the floor and see what is blocking the fans. if its ribbon cables or hardware, move either the fans or the hardware. move the case away from the wall and any heat source. make sure you have fans moving an equal volume of air both into or out of the case. OR set all fans to exhaust from the case, and remove front or rear plates to provide air inlets.

i guess my 1st question would be........what kind of heatsink are you using? next.......how much thermal compound did you use? next........how many case fans do you have, and are they mounted to move the air in the correct direction? the front fan or fans should be pulling air into the case, and the rear fan or fans should be exhausting air out of the case. the next thing that comes to my mind has already been mentioned by Red, which is to check for anything such as ide ribbon cables or wires that are blocking your air flow.

the heatsink and thermal gunk appears to be irrelevant at this time. the system temp is too high, not just the cpu.

i agree..........sounds like the air is trapped in the case.
