i put the paste on about 20 mins ago and left the comp idle to help harden it off and it is idling at 49-52 when i play music it goes to 52-54 when i play world of warcraft with music it goes between 68-73 and same when i just play world of warcraft it did got upto 78 for about 2 secs then droped. do u think a new cooler is needed i hear the tempreture should not go over 50

[ATTACH=CONFIG]498.vB5-legacyid=1115[/ATTACH] that is the picture of my current CPU cooler its a INTEL D34223-001 SOCKET 775 CPU COOLER, can you recomend a good CPU cooler that will keep it cool while i play games and run scans with no problem i seen the same CPU cooler i have on E-bay for 1pounds 99 (cant get the pound sign up ) i feel ashamed lol i would be happy to spend around 15 pounds on a CPU cooler if that is what needed also i found some thermal paste on E-bay for 99p with 2 cleaning wipes or is that to cheep and nasty im unsure of how much good thermal paste costs. By the way many thanks for your help i have been pulling my hair out for days over this i was thinking about striping it down and try to make a new comp out of it i was runing Vista first of all but i thought it was that so now i run on windows XP Pro

it has like a coper circle thingy on the bottom on the cooler and there is no sign of the thermal paste - i checked with a computer shop near me and he says i need at least half a pea size of paste then spread it evenly but he also said that my cooler might not be working properly

i got a pc tool cd off ebay and ive only used the tools that was on the CD like IOBIT System care, Tune up utillities and also regmech i dont think it is a software problem i think it is a hardware problem i even tryed replacing the graphics card and RAM sticks and it still crashed

this might be it when i checked there is no traces of thermal paste on my cooler i use kaspersky internet and when i do a full scan thats what it mainly crashes but it also decides to go on its own when i play world of warcraft with ventrilo runing i dunno if its bcuz the processor has to do more work and thats what is crashing it. i have just started the computer up and went into the BIOS settings >PC health status and the CPU is on 86dc straight away when ive only just turned it on :confused:

hi i got my PC from Ebay and since the start it crashed but just lately it crashes more often i have downloaded loads of registry cleaners/tweakers and it still crashed then yesterday i decided to open the case and i cleaned off the fans and made sure every wire was pushed in. it does not crash as much now but when i went to take the cooler on the processor oss it was loose and when i put it back i made sure it was not loose i am wondering if the reason why it kept on crashing was bacuz the processor was getting to hot and shutting down to protect it - i dont get any warning messages or anything it just crashes like sumone turning the power off at the wall. i press the power button and it would start up again and fingers crosted for when the next shutdown was going to happen, i have attached 2 files from two different information sources wich should help you help me :o also when i checked my PC health it said my processor was at 85dc is that normal ?? do you think i need a new processor or new fans ?? or more fans please help CPU-Z [ATTACH]497.vB5-legacyid=1113[/ATTACH] IOBIT [ATTACH]496.vB5-legacyid=1112[/ATTACH] System Information Report.txt DODDY.txt
