my cpu keeps overheating and then turns off,
i am thinking about tomorrow sending it back as it is only 4 months old.

i dont know why it overheats, i could be just using it normally, with ie open and msn and media player and it will turnoff.
or i could be playing counter strike and it would turn off.

does anyone know of any common problems why they overheat?

i have enoughf resources, like

480wat p/s
1 gig ram
256mg gfx
280gig hdd.
4 case fans
full tower case

or could it be thats whats making my cpu going outa control?

well if i cant find a solution tomorrow i will try and send it back.

cheers

If the computer is that new, and you have the warranty int act still, take it back to where you bought it, explain the problem to them, let them fix it. That will preserve the warranty that is in force and should get your computer where it is supposed to be.

Like was asked if it is just shutting down, how are you determining it is due to over heating instead of a software problem?

i have suprtep utility which came with the motherboard ad it has tempratures and it hangs around 60-70 oC just before it turns off and the threshold is 70 oC, so it is deffantly overheating.

i bought a motherboard bundle , (motherboard, cpu/heatsink fan, and ram) so ill send that back then.

check the obvoius. Is the processor fan running? Are you runnign it with any covers off? Did you build it yourself, and if so, did you add the thermal paste?
