Problem with computer system.

[hbafna]

I have a Intel P4 @ 1.7 GHz based computer system with 512 MB SDRAM/ Intel 845 Chipset Motherboard. Windows Xp Professional is the OS being used. One day the computer system poped the following problem.

"The CPU was shutdown due to a thermal event (overheating). Please
service the unit right away to resolve this. CMOS/GPNV checksum Bad."

What could be the problem. The computer did not bootup since then.

Is the problem with CPU or Motherboard or HDD?

Pl. help

The computer is heating up, clean ur cpu and check if anything is obstructing the rotation of CPU fan.

first check for physical obstructions for the fans

u say not able to boot from the HD?

are able to go to the Bios


can u boot from the cd
try installin a fresh OS if u can

if prob persist get it checked by a serviceman


( personally i feel there has been some virus like activity which used large amount of the proc work, and made it overheat
so formattin & reinstallin it might settle the issue )
