JeremyCDay Posted August 18, 2001 Share Posted August 18, 2001 I just purchases a new computer 1.33 ghz 512 megs of ram, and some toher stuff, while toying around in the bios there was a option that said something about it would shut down the system if tempertures were too high, or something my room is not even warm and i ahve my case open, but it shuts down everytime i start up before i get in the bios? can anywone hlep Also i have a 64 meg geforce 3 does that mean i can set the bios graphics aperure size to 64? or are they 2 different things?

JeremyCDay Posted August 19, 2001 Author Share Posted August 19, 2001 In my motherboard manual it says 4 steps #1 UNplug tower #2 find the clear cmos spot on mother board (it consists of 2 silver dots) #3 short curcuit it by using a wire to touch them both together then plug back in and it should work ive tryed and it wont, :( would there a be a jumper somewhere on my motherboard that would control the actaul temperture monitering stuff, so that way it wouldnt think it was 2 hot?

JeremyCDay Posted August 19, 2001 Author Share Posted August 19, 2001 Alrite so let me just double check and make sure i understand this, i short circuited the thing like the manual said should i look for jumpers now or should i go ahead and remove the battery now?

JeremyCDay Posted August 19, 2001 Author Share Posted August 19, 2001 and unplug everything from powersupply do you mean the wires that plug nto back of tower, or the power wires that goto the hard drive, cd rom drive etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCDay Posted August 19, 2001 Author Share Posted August 19, 2001 I dunno maybe i should just give up, Ive try clearing the CMOS the way the book said, by touching a wire ior tweezers to both points, didnt work, i tryed leaving the battery out it was out for lik5 hours then put back in, the guy at the company said the reason the bios setting made it do that was becasue the feature wis designed to shut down the cpu if it reaches high levels but the default level i had set was alot lower then the heat it pumpps out, he said ust clear the cmos i tryed, nothing will work :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmak Administrators Posted August 19, 2001 Administrators Share Posted August 19, 2001 What brand and model computer do you have ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaos34 Posted August 19, 2001 Share Posted August 19, 2001 dude, i think you should just buy better cooling for you system. You'll probably cure the shut-down problem, and you'll need it anyway since you said that your system runs at high heat levels. When you buy, you'll just feel more "secure" about the health of your system =p Try soemthin like the Gladiator form the OCZ store with the stock fan.. that should do nicely =p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
