Hi folks, Been having a strange problem over the last few weeks where an alarm in my pc will go off, Im totaly confused as to what is causing this and it only happens while Im playing games. The only guess I can make is that its something to do with over heating but Im not sure, just wondered if anyone can shed some light on this.

Thanks in advance

hello grimble grumble and welcome to pchf we have a great team of techs


can you download speedfan to see if you are having overheating problems

SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer

looking forward to your reply

Ok Thanks, Ive done that earlier but Im not sure what it means. This is what it says

fan2:0 RPM
fan3:0 RPM

temp1: 34C (green tick)
temp2: 69C (fire symbol)
temp3:50C (fire symbol)
HD0: 38C (little blue downwards arrow)
temp1: 59C (fire symbol)

Hi Grimble Grumble,
Welcome to The PCHF,
OK lets get some idea of what's causing that alarm. Download the app from HERE install and run it. This will give us an idea of the temperatures that your system is running at. You might also want to check inside the PC case that all your fans are running and are free of dust and junk.
Keep us posted with the temps.

Lol radar, a bit late with that speedfan there

Grimble, your computer is starting to overheat. Can you please open the side of your case up, and check to make sure all the fans are spinning and not covered in dust...if they are covered in dust, please get a can of compressed air (can get them from most electronic shops) and spray the dust out with air....do not use a vaccuum cleaner - this will cause static to touch the motherboard and create a dead motherboard for you.

Hey GarHar,
LOL
Not sure waht happened there but I actually posted 37 minutes after first post, system glich or something.

Yea, no doubt


Grimble, how'd you go with your problem?
