Computer reboots when running Everest
My computer has been making beeping noice from overheating. I used Everest to see the temprature and found that it was a bit high.
I opened it up and cleaned the dust (for the first time in last 2 years) especially off of the case fan, and CPU fan.
While doing the above, I also installed an Ultra ATA/133 TX2 controller PCI card (from Promise) and a new 300 gb HD. I attached a HD cooling fan to the hard drive to keep it cool. Farmatted the hard drive and all is looking good.
Started Everest again to see if the temps have gone down. I can click on everything except Sensor under Computer. As soon as I click on Sensor to check the temps, the screen goes black and the computer restarts.
I am running windows2k and I have never experienced this before opening up the case this morning.
I have a dual boot with XP. When running XP, the Everest runs fine. Sensor node doesn't cause the computer to crash and the temps are a bit down.
What do you all think could be causing this?
I have even tried installing WinXP drivers for the controller card on win2k OS, to no avail.
One thing that I have noticed is that the Powersuplly fan is not spinning. I know I need to take care of this but this couldn't be causing this right?
Please help. Thanks in advance.
