What is an acceptable temperature range for my CPU?
439980
Approximately less than 40 degrees centigrade and more than 15 degrees centrigrade

You should check the processor temperature. BIOS in modern computers has a setting that shutdown the system when the processor temperature reaches 70 degrees celcius. Think of a better way of cooling your system.

Sounds like your processor is fast enough already to run anything you have for software. I would suggest against overclocking as it will put undue heat on your processor chip. If you do overclock it you wont see much if any change in how your system runs. Ya really wanna take the chance and burn that chip up? If you want to see better performance invest in some more ram sam...

Check the fans and make sure they ALL are working. If you have a CPU temp utility, use it. Try starting in safe mode and see if it is still happening.

The best place to get this information is straight from Intel.\n\n>> Systems based on Pentium 4 processors 2.80 GHz (and below) should have a maximum expected temperature of 40°C in the maximum expected external ambient (which is typically 35°C). <<\n\nhttp://support.intel.com/support/processors/pentium4/sb/CS-007999.htm\n\nHope this helps.

Check your bios. There is a numlock setting there.

might be that your cpu overheated....\n\ncould also be software issue..ie..spyware.\n\ncan also be your HD encountered bad error\n\n\nwhat am i trying to say?  that symptom alone is too generic.. could be a lot of causes

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

I think there is some problem with your fan. I am using computer in bangladesh without AC and sometime in summer I run my computer for 3 to 4 hours without any problem. Consult with your vendor and if you are covered with warranty claim co change your CPU fan.

Depending on what kind of games you play especially if they are really graphic intense it will raise the temp in your pc even so with photo editing.  The type of programs use a lot of system resources.  As long as your cpu doesnt go over 50 to 55C it should be ok. As far as cleaning dust out of your pc it is a must b/c it doesn't allow your components to dissapate heat the way they should.  And as for the thermal grease(thermal interface material).  Some TIMs you can buy are non-conducive so if it leaks onto a component it will not damage it.  Try removing the old TIMs on your processor and heatsink.  Lap and polish both surfaces to make them smooth and then apply the new TIMs.  TIMs are fairly inexpensive (around10-15 dollars at radio shack)  And do a general search on lapping and polishing.  TIMs that manufacturers are usually pretty cheaply made and you can cool your processor quite a bit by doing this.  Check out www.computerpoweruser.com

anything over 400 degrees F its a good bet.

Heat isn't a problem for computer equipment until it gets above ~160°F. Whether it's turned off or not doesn't make much difference to the silicon. Humidity, on the other hand, can make a mess of a computer quite fast.

When this will happen. Will it happen when you run a paricular program...\nIf its happening all the time then its because your cpu is getting heated up.\nGo to bios in that go temperature settings. There you can uncheck auto reboot if you don't want that to happen.\nBut it is recommended

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.

Check your Cmos setup, if there is no setting for the fan, then i would not worry about it, it better to be cool than hot....It must be a Dell, just joking.....they have the most complaints....

possibly 3.1ghz but be careful i tried overclocking myself once and it didn't go too well

I'd say ATLEAST 60wmp is good.  Anything over 80 is very good.\n\nCheck out the typing tutor I linked if you want to improve.\n\nMatt
