I have started noticing occasional automatic restarts (as if Reset button is pressed) After 2 – 3 hours of operation.
I have been observing that my CPU is now getting hotter than what it would be in the past. I am wondering what would be causing it as I have not made any changes in my system H/W or S/W or the processing load/duration etc for past several months, plus this is winter time now.
The hardware utility or BIOS shows around 40 Deg C but I am skeptical about it.
The heat is mildly felt even if I open the cabinet door. This was not the case before.
My config… it’s quite old but has worked well for past 4 years!
AMD Athlon XP 2000, Biostar M7NCG 400, 512 MB, 300 W SMPS, NVidia 6200 AGP card, 80 GB HDD, one DVD RW, XP SP2, one additional fan in the cabinet. All fans CPU, Cabinet + SMPS are operational.
The only change I notice is that CPU fan is now making more noise that before. This is old system and as such there's no facility to control / vary fan speed based on CPU temperature
The auto restart issue is only noticed after 2 – 3 hours of continuous operation. Hence for the time being I am assuming it could be due to CPU or such heating.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thx.
