    I am having problems with a custom built machine i keep getting blue screens during gaming so i installed new drivers for graphic card.

    I then said i would stress test the computer so i did a memtest86 with 15 passes no fails.

    Then with OCCT i ran a test on the graphic card and it passed.

    But when i ran a power supply test or cpu test in comes back with cpu too hot.

    Processor intel core 2 quad Q8300 2.5ghz with stock heat sink and fan
    Motherboard GA-EP43-UD3L
    4 GB G Skill pc2 8500 (2 x 2GB)
    ATI radeon HD 4870 512mb
    500GB western digital hard drive
    630 AXP power supply
    Coolermater Elite 330 case

    Can anyone let me know what i can do to stop the too hot cpu problem.


    Thanks
    John

    well easiest solution would be to upgrade to a better CPU fan and get some good thermal grease, have a look on Komplett.ie, PCWorld sell some too but i wouldnt suggest them as "better"
    Also make if uve overclocked ild roll it back to stock settings

    heres a list of Socket775 fans that should work well with ur setup:

    Mine was overheating to 85-90 degrees giving a loud alarm and shutting the pc down. Put new thermal paste on and hey presto back to around 45 degrees

    Thanks guys for the help

    The cpu test runs fine which is strange
    The GPU test runs fine
    But is only the power supply test that says cpu too hot
