Major PC hardware failure
Greetings,
I built a pc around Pentium cpu, Intel D865GVHZ board, Antec case/PS back in '06. Have been running it about 16 hours/day ever since. Whilst running a backup Sunday, I heard a constant little tic-tic, tic-tic, tic-tic sound, looked down to find Speedfan registered about 74 C., then watched the W2k system crash. I immediately suspected a cpu fan failure, but all fans were running when I checked. I've now replaced the cpu fan/heat-sink and the power supply. The system gives the following message: "The CPU was previously shutdown due to a thermal event(overheating) Service the unit right away to resolve this" and soon shuts down all power. I need to restore the system to functionality, but hardly know where to start. Any/all help would be much appreciated. TIA, Puddin' "Law Without Equity Is No Law At All. It Is A Form Of Jungle Rule." |

Check out this posting: CPU was shutdown due to a thermal event (Overheating) - GIDForums "The problem was with the power pin connecting to the motherboard. It was not proper, and is too hot, which caused all these problems." http://www.gidforums.com/t-8183.html It seems perhaps the power supply was faulty. Yousuf Khan |

I noticed that post last night.
I've installed a new 460w PS. No help. All power contacts look clean. How to reset Vcore???

No definitive answer but it *appears* to have been over-voltage from an
Antec-branded power supply. Mobo and 1 of 2 HD's were lost. Thx, P On Thu, 07 Apr 2011 19:25:16 -0400, Yousuf Khan wrote: On 07/04/2011 1:28 PM, Puddin' Man wrote: I noticed that post last night.

Is this the first PSU or the replacement PSU? The 1st (original) PSU. The board wouldn't power with a replacement PSU. The system is dead, kaput, und Pues Muerta! But I recovered 95+% of my data.
