Weird Crash

<div class="IPBDescription">i think is the temp</div> My Problem: After a non-specific amount of time, NS crashes. the problem started when summer started here, ish.

My specs: MSI KT4 ultra, athlon xp 1700+, 512 ram, 80gb WD high performance drive, SBlive Gold soundcard, Geforce 4 mx440 graphic card on Windows XP pro.

another interesting thing, is that as soon as ns crashes i check my cpu temperature with "MSI pc alert" and it always reads 50 or 51... as if getting that hot made NS crash, and other games too.

could it be because of reaching 50° CPU temp?


Thanks <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    summer?
    here?
    Its winter atm, mind telling us how long this has been going on (days? weeks? months?)

    define 'Crash' (crash to desktop, computer restarts, error msg? anything?)

    IF you CPU overheats (I don't know what temps are to hot honestly) your MoBo should shut off the computer, not just kill your programs.

    and whats an MSI KT4 Ultra? (MoBo?)

    IMO, the temperature is probably causing un-stability, and NS is the app in the front, so it crashes.

    50 degrees isnt really hot.. (F or C?)
    Did you check the vents on the comp to see if they are unblocked..
    Try running with the case cover off to see if that helps (It might pay to clean the inside of the comp)

    It's summer where i live, this has been going on for two months, ish.

    the crash is to desktop.
    MSI KT4 ultra is my motherboard.

    50° degrees C° off course, and i noticed is not too hot, but i dont know why this happens.

    i tried opening the case, i even put a "room fan" shooting inside my open case, it lowered the system temp, but not the CPU temp.

    I'm thinking about changing the standard issue AMD cooler for a Thermaltake one with more power; but i want to be certain it will help

    thanks guys

    i have some news, i cleaned my AMD cooler, and temp never even reaches 50°c; it stays under 48... so i dont think it's the temp... What the fu** could it be?<!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> i'm loosing my mind here...

    Same happened to me. Try taking out one of your memory sticks and using one. If it still crashes take that stick out and use the other. If it still crashes then I'm not sure exactly. In my case it was the mobo being dodgy.
