I have a AMD Athlon XP 2000+ and the 2 programs i downloaded reads the temp at 144Degrees C. Is this right?

That must be fahrenheit not celcius. 144 degrees celcius is 291.2 degrees fahrenheit. At 291 degrees fahrenheit, you would have already melted the core of your CPU.\n\nOn the other hand, 144 degrees fahrenheit is 62 degrees celcius which is a normal temperature for an Athlon. AMD recommends a running temperature of 60 degrees celcius or 140 degrees fahrenheit (or lower) for Athlons. However, some of the mobile Athlon XPs used in laptops can substain slightly higher temperatures without causing any harm because of their lower core voltages and core designs.

check your bios settings

It actually depends what processor you're running.\n\n46 C(114 F) is normal operating tempreture for some cpu's. When that tempreture gets above 60 C(140 F) then you should be concerned.\n\nThe max operating tempreture for the 600 series of Intel pentium 4's is 66.7 C (152 F), i.e the tempreture they can reach before they start  to give problems or start to burn out.\n\nEDIT: 3rd degree burns? what did you touch?\n\nI assumed you were quoting the value in farenheit, but if it's 114 degrees C, you have got a serious problem. The south bridge and north bridge can also over heat, so don't touch them iether.\n\nThe maxiumum rated temprature of the 4000+ is 70 degrees Celcius (159 Fahrebheit).

your computer has waaaaay to little random access memory to be playing any sort of high graphix game it's not the fan speed... your fan just cools the inside out and the cpu fan is probably more than capable of cooling off your cpu i think the prolem is the RAM. You will need to open your computer up and pop the chips out to see what kind they are then go on ebay and buy some. wait 'til they come and put them in. order as many chips as you have slots. if you don't feel comfortable doing this i would take it on down to your local best buy and drop it off at geek squad. hope this helps!

you probably have faulty ram or cruddy clock settings.\ntake your pc into a professional and see what they can do to stabalize your system\n\nedit: your system is just okey dory then, isn't it? use less intense clock speeds. what is your system? amd?\ni have the same card, and the same problems. just don't use too aggressive clock settings on the ram (like CL2.5 versus CL2)\n\nreach me at evil@evildomain.org if you need further help, as i dont like checking back on answers

varies 60 to 90 for the GPU, you shouldn't worry -> over 90 gets toasted

with that slow of a computer, there probably ins't even any heat there to generate!!! get a new computer, like the earlier guy said, u probably have a virus or ur computer died from old age.\nkeep it as a old memory\njust say goodbye to the age of the Mhz cpus and say hello to the new and very affordable 3Ghz cpus\ntons more faster and around 300 bucks including a nice 17 to 19inch flat panel LCD display!!1\n(why don't i just be an billboard for Dell, i seem to compliment them a lot on their ridicuolously low prices for rediculously good computers and monitors (mainly monitors))

50C is 112F. That's pretty warm for the interior of the box but not really too hot for the CPU itself. Install another fan at every possible location on the box. Two on the back is good plus one in the power supply. Make sure the air has some place to go, don't block the vent. Also make sure there are places on the front for air to get in. You want air going from front to back, quickly and a lot of it. Reposition the cables inside the unit to prevent air blockage.

It's probably the cpu temperature alarm.\nDepending on your board, there is a temperature alarm built into the cmos.  If it is alarming, maybe your cpu is getting too hot.\nCheck your fan and make sure it's working well.  You may want to replace it with a bigger fan to keep it more cool

A computer can be in real trouble if dirty. From what it sounds like, you need to take off the cover, take it OUTSIDE and use a can or two of air on it. I have seen CPU heatsinks clogged solid, fires almost starting in Power Supplies and who knows what else from dirt build up. The freezing could be from overheating alone. Make sure the fans work. A CPU should not run over 55 or 60C.\nGet some masking tape to cover up the port and try to blow it out every few months.

thats in your system information.... my computer... contral panel...performance.... then look at your system details...

That's a bit high...usually want to operate at about 40-45 C or less. Get yourself a better heat sink and cooling fan, and maybe a better cooled case.

sounds like an overheating problem.....when you changed the processor did you use the old heatsink/fan? is the fan working properly? try changing the heatsink/fan and use a good heat transfer paste like artic silver 5

U can leave it on as much as u want, but...\n1. be sure that u have installed some temperature monitoring program or u need to check BIOS for setings bout that.\n2. Remember that your CPU cant last forewer (heat damages him over time). Transistors broking over time and at some point your CPU will be out of order. For Intel its 15%, and AMD about 30% of overall number of transistors, i think.

It depends on the CPU and whatever that CPU's threshold is. Most are set to around 70 -85 deg C. The setting as far as when the machine shuts down when a certain temperature is reached, may be able to be changed or set in the BIOS or with a third party software.\n\nIf you have a CPU that is overheating, the fan that is over the metal heatsink is probably dusty and dirty. It needs to be removed and cleaned with some compressed air. Clean the metal hetasink too. Make sure if you use water on the metal heat sink that it is completely dry before you put it back over the CPU. If cleaning the fan and heat sink don't do the job, the fan may need to be replaced. Try a known good fan first before you go and by one. It may be a systemboard problem that doesn't allow the fan to rotate fast enough, or the fan is bad, or the power supply is not giving the fan enough power, so the power supply may need to be replaced, try a knonw good power supply before buying a new one. If you found this info helpful, please be so kind as to rate my answer the best!!.

Safe temperatures.\nIntel processors: 35-48C deg\nBoard: 35-40C deg,\n\nAMD processors : 50-58C deg ( I own an AMD )\nBoard: 40-50C deg.\n\nothers i'm not so sure, but they will be some where within this range.

The temperature inside yourt computer is too hot, pls check your internal fans if they are working properly. This is bad and you can damage your processor permanently.
