Comment: I recently upgraded my comp to a XP1800+, with a Gigabyte 7VRXP, volcano 7+, 256Mb DDR Ram, Leadtek GeForce4 Ti4200 and the rest are all standard. The system freezes on startup sometimes and there is also problems with the graphic drivers that only force the comp to use less than true color and the size is always less than 1200*768 (which is majorly annoying). When the computer startsup and has no problem, the temp is at 52C on idle and when worked hard (which isn't that hard) can reach 62C at times. Help me with these problems please.

Reply: (edit)DL the lastest driver from nVidia.com, it should be fix your resloution. The temp. stuff is alright i supposed at long as it doesnt' reach 65+ it's gonna be ok. 95C degree is where your CPU will be cooked. ~Death-Knight~

Reply: (edit)I'm not familiar with AMD's core voltage etc... etc... but that sounds way to hot to me. Are you overclocking? If so, look into an advanced cooling system such as a water cooling kit. If you're not, and your fans seem OK, then you should probably find out about warranties and the like.

Reply: (edit)Yeh see that's the problem, I'm not even overclocking it. I'm running it at the normal 1533Mhz Currently as I write this, the temp is 61C...which I reckon is absurdly high.

Reply: (edit)Take the damn thing apart!!! remove you heat sink and make you got it on the right way.. friend did the same thing with his vocano 7+. Get some Arctic Silver 2 or 3 thermal paste and put that on. you shouldn't see temps above 45 on that CPU and that cooler. Make sure you have enough vetilation in your case too.. Shanib Out.

Reply: (edit)I'm running the same CPU and I was hitting temps around 67C. I had the case open and I was using a volcano 6cu. The 7 wasn't approved by AMD on their site and the 6 was, that's why I went with the latter. I really don't know how else to cool it down. There's plenty of space inside for airflow. The only thing I could do is add a fan to the tower, front and back, which I just did. I didn't have a chance to test yet. Still need to put the systme back together now. I heard that the temp monitoring utility in the BIOS is not that accurate. Is that true????
