has anyone had a problem with overheating? my pc will just turn off at random times. I suspect over heating at the processor.

I had to replace the power supply fan shortly after purchase. Quicker than warranty repair.

I have not had a problem with over heating or randomly turning off. But I do keep it off the floor and blow the dust out once a week. Mine does randomly stop receiving input from my monitor I think Cuz it is a cheep 10 yr old HP monitor.

I do not have any problems with my computer over heating, but I did replace the power supply when I first purchased the computer to put in a more powerful supply for gaming.

Yes mine does the same thing. My guess is that my fan wore out because the first few days it was loud and annoying, but eventually stopped. Only then did my computer begin to overheat and shut off when I play certain video games for as little time as 45 minutes.

no issues with ours. I play games on it for hours and it never has any issues.

hasn't happened to my son.......do you leave the xbox on for long periods? When our computer monitor had heat issues, we bought a small fan that runs whenever the monitor is on and that fixed the overheating problem......

The stock heatsink and fan have never let me down, and I've been using AMD's for ages and ages. Granted, I don't bother overclocking my system. They are throttled based on temp. You can always change the fan if your setup runs so hot the fan can't keep up.

That shouldn't happen. If there is a rise in temp, there might be a few causes: quantity of compound used or wasn't uniformly applied, the processor & heatsink plate weren't cleaned properly (you can use either absolute alcohol or some specialized cleaner you might find), heatsink screws are too loose and the plate isn't making a proper contact with the processor, or your source power has an issue.

I did not have this exact problem but there has been a rash of bad circuit boards axcording to the tech. Its unusual yours works intermittent ly versus complete failure. If I had to guess it sounds like you have a cooling problem and theset shuts down to save itself. Try putting a small fan behind it.

FYI - I've got an HP with an AMD chip and that sucker runs hot (running Vista). Cooling fan runs all the time. Another HP I recently bought has the Intel chip and it runs significanlt cooler (Win 7). Can't tell if it the chip or OS but all I can report is what I'm experiencing. The guy at Best Buy had the same comment on AMD chips.

Sounds like it's overheating, I had attached a fan to mine and it worked great.

Do you have the ASUS Eee 1015PED?I have used it for hours on end and it still doen't get hot enough to cause any issues.

I have had my PC for several months and I have never experienced a heating problem. After running the computer for hours, there is no heating problem

I have 2 of these running now and have not had an over heating issue with mine. One is on the back of a monitor and the other is on my desk and the temp in my office has been around 83 degrees for the past week or two (AC went out).

Havent had any heating issues. I have mine for almost 2 years. I would try reapplying the thermal grease & ensure the heat sink's base is completely flat. This is assuming its clean & has good air flow.

yeah, that would be extremely annoying :) I have mine running a PC case fan that blows on it while its on, then the built-in fan never runs, and PC fan is MUCHO quieter.

Yep ours did that too. Ended up sending it back and getting a higher quality PC. No problems since

I use it on a PC and I rarely shut down unless it's required for updates. I haven't experienced any overheating.

Contact the company for a replacement through Amazon Support. One of mine also gAve my PC troubles. In the future, I would stay away from this brand. TLDR: Contact through Amazon for refund or replacement. This can be done through your Orders page.

Yep, mine has been overheating also. I thought it was the keyboard cover that came with it, but after throwing that away, my computer has still been seizing up so I just took the cover off today and hope I'll have no more problems.
