My system powers down when it hits a temperature of 52c.
Asus A7N8X Deluxe - Bios:c1005
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton w/ Stock cpu fan
Pair of 512MB Corsair XMS pc3200
350w PS
Everything worked fine until I overclocked my system to an XP3000+ w/
200FSB. When I overclocked to that setting (200 fsb w/ 10.5
multiplier) the system ran fine for about 1 hour of playing
battlefield 1942, then the system locked up in the middle of the game
for about 1 second, then powered itself off instantly. Completely
turned the pc off. I assume this was the C.O.P. kicking in on the
motherboard.
After waiting about half an hour I started up the PC, it booted into
the BIOS without any problems. I set the computer back to 2500+ stock
settings (166fsb and a 11.0 multiplier). I saved the BIOS and booted
windows up just fine. I let the system set idle for 10 hours, no
problems. I returned to playing 1942 and after about 20 mins the
system locked and powered down again, same exact symptoms as when it
was overclocked. But this time it was only at stock settings.
I waited, rebooted, set the BIOS to reload the defaults, saved andd
booted into windows. I downloaded Prime95. I ran the torture test
the computer had no errors and I slowly watched the cpu temp rise on
the Asus Probe. Once it hit 52c the computer powered itself down.
I thought it might be a power supply problem, I disconnected some of
my case fans, and ran the computer with the side pannel off. I then
ran the torture test again, system ran fine with no errors steady at
38c. I let it run for 2 hours no problems.
I then re-connected all the fans and left the side pannel of the case
off, the system still ran fine under Prime95 and no power downs.
System ran stable at 45c during this stress test.
I then put the side of the case back on, and watched the temp slowly
rise using Prime95 and asus probe. Once I hit 52c it powers down.
I've verified this test on 4 tries now. Whenever I hit 52c, lights
out.
Any ideas, please help. My guess is that the motherboard C.O.P.
feature was fried when I overclocked the system. Before I overclocked
my system, it ran without powering down at 55c.
Thanks.
