 PC shutdown due to overheating Post a Reply  
From: Konstantin on 10/10/2003
Soon after I start PC, it shuts down suddenly. After restarting, a black screen appears and says something like that "PC shut down due to a thermal event (overheating). Press F4 to start setup". I press F4 and PC works ok, until I shut it down manually. Next time I start it, it shuts down with the same manner, and so on.
Operating system : Windows Xp Professional
Computer type : Pentium 4 CPU 2,6 HyperThreading, 2 GB RAM

I'm experiencing the same problem on a PC I built. The motherboard is an Intel D865GLCLK. We've ruled out the possibility of an actual heat issue. CPU temp is under 100 F, System Zone 1 and 2 are in the low 80's F, and it shuts down. We've also ruled out CPU and video card. I think it's either a bios problem with the P11 release on the motherboard, or an electrical issue.

Hi

Check to see if you pc 'is' overheating, take of the side panel to your pc and check that the CPU fan is running, watch the fan as your computer boots, does the fan stop running or slow right down?

In your BIOS you should have a 'PC Health status' option, check the temperatures to the CPU here.

Check the fan is not malfunctioning, listen for irregular sounds from the fan, like as if the fan is grinding where there maybe a Bearings issue or bushes issue, usually the CPU fan is quite reliable, and your PC is relatively new so don't suspect the CPU to be the culprit unless you definitely know.

Also check in the BIOS that you have not enabled the CPU fan detection. The system may think that your fan is not running and subsequently shuts down your pc.

If you have recently reset your BIOS to default settings you may have overlooked the setting to the CPU fan detection setting.

Did you build your own PC? If so did you apply thermal compound to your CPU before mounting the Heat sink ?
