PC problem

[Bruno_2MLG4CT]

Hello. I got a problem with my PC. When it's hot weather outside my PC is overheating and this is what I have on my screen. It's almost impossible and I believe bad for the PC to keep it not turned off. Here is a video of what's happening on my screen.

Recorded with phone because when I record with xfire you can't see it.

you mean the flashes?  try getting the latest updates for your video card but also make sure your cord is scurely attached to the computer

Download RealTemp from here:http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/ and Hwmonitor from here http://www.cpuid.com/downloads/hwmonitor/1.23-setup.exe and make a SS of CPU temp and GPU.

[Ethan]

with the realtemp you have to have a Intel core processor
"Reads temperature information from all Intel Core based processors. Pentium 4 processors are not supported."


but that second one works real good

Did you try to open your videocard and processor cooler and replace the thermal paste? I used to have this same issue when my thermal paste burned and then my pc started to overheat and suddenly turned off itself.
You only need to open it and put a new thermal paste over the processors.

If he has an AMD cpu,he can try Core Temp:http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/

Works for Intel too.

Try another VGA cable/replugging, or reseating your GPU in the motherboard.

HWmonitor shows all sensors there is in computer. But its usually good idea to have another like GPU-Z or CPU-Z to confirm that its not just buggy sensors..
HWmonitor is good for general monitoring which everybody should have.
Looks like bad signal on the VGA cable, is it twisted/cut or anything? Or is the monitor excessively hot?
Could be GPU too

[Bruno_2MLG4CT]

I also suspect the GPU. Idk, all coolers work good. Maybe I need more powerful coolers or what?
The monitor is hot, but not that much...

[Dr_dog]

What does the HWmonitor say about GPU?

I downloaded it now. It is bulllshit. It can't be -1 Degrees.

haha lol get everest and click at sensor.

Clean the GPU, make sure the cables are plugged in right (VGA) then plug it back in, try again. Try a new VGA cable, or one lying around. If that doesn't work. It might be GPU releated. How long have you had it for? how long is it in use? etc..

If you download Speccy ( http://www.piriform.com/speccy/download ), run it, wait until it has finished running and go "File -> save as Text file" and post the contents of the text file here, we can see CPU, MB, HDD temps and more details.

[highlight=limegreen]Make sure you remove "Serial Number" and "External IP Address" (use CTRL+F) before posting the text file![/highlight]

I dont know where to look for just cpu and GPU info but here:
edit
doing those individually still is a long paste

[DJ_Smashon]

Bad VGA Cable or overheating/something wrong with GPU. Might be monitor also, because sometimes my monitor shows some green stripes instead of black.

[Bruno_2MLG4CT]

Matias helped me to check my CPU's temperature. It was 43C while not in game. He said that I should change my themal or thermal paste because it may be burned.

[DJ_Smashon]

It's dangerous to do that on GPU atleast I've heard its easier to fuck it up on GPU than on CPU.

yup, but you also had that temperature due to your enviroment temperature, if i were you i would be replacing the GPU and CPU thermal paste and cleaning all my coolers and maybe getting a new one.

I cleaned the coolers and I am thinking of getting a new one. Plus about the thermal paste, as I said, I will talk to my brother first.

This looks like artefacts - related to GPU VRAM overheating.
All over 90°C is hot and its not good to keep it in that temperatures for too long. Mine CPU and GPU was 110°C and everything was fine, just make sure you dont do it for too long (because BGA chips can desolder, and then you can fix it by putting in heating oven - really, google if you dont trust me).
Many graphic has known with artefacts because bad VRAM cooling. Most graphic card uses just cooling for graphic procesor, and not for the memory. Or use a big thermal pad, which doesnt transfer heat good.

[Dr_dog]

the oven trick works best with old cards where is not huge plastic covers on them and other stuff that melts easier than the solder.. Or atleast remember to take off the heatsink when you cook it in oven.. Yes it works but not reccomended as first solution. I infact fixed an old Radeon x1950 with it.. After taking off heatsinks and everything though..  There is some serius problem in your card's cooling if it ever goes over 80C
Mine operating temperatures are in 40-60C due to being crammed in crossfire in tight case but still withn the acceptable ranges.
