I have following PC configration:-
AMD AthlonXp 2400+ (2GHz)
ASUS A7V400-MX SE Motherboard (VIA KM400A Chipset)
Integrated VIA UniChrome 3D/2D graphics and video controller.
One Extra medium-Size Fan apart from CPU and SMPS Fan.
256 MB DDR RAM @266Mhz
Samsung 80GB HDD @7200RPM
Sony CD-RW
17" CRT Monitor
I am using WinXp-SP2, NAV2005(updated) and all sorts of diffrent stuffs.
I also have installed 'ASUS PC Probe', its a CPU and M/B Temperature Monitoring Utility and comes with the M/B CD.
In this S/W I have set the CPU Temp Threshold to 70 C.
In normal usage CPU Temp ranges from 56-60 C (with Cabinet Open)
But recently when I installed and tried to play a game (EA Cricket 2004) the system just got shut (without any warning or somthing).
Although everything was normal when started it again. This might happened because of ASUS PC Probe has shut the system when CPU Temp got up more than 70 C.
But i want to know that:-
1) Can playing a game may result in hype in CPU temp by 10 C ?
2) should i increase the CPU Temp Threshold ? upto which CPU temp is it safe to run system on ?
3) I can also get a graphic card (ASUS V8170SE-GeForce4 MX440-SE GPU-64MB) from one of my friend. Will installing this card be helpful to overcome above problem.
I am not a serious gamer (I use computer mainly for programing and play games, like Cricket2004 or NFS-HP2, for just relaxing) so i dont want to spend a lot of bucks for the sake of game only. But if there is any problem with my system config pls do tell me.
Also i dont hav any AC in my room, just a fan keeps my room cool enough.
