Why is my CPU running so hot?

ok, first of all, get a heatpipe system.  decent cooling and less hassle than liquid. the evercool model is like 30 bucks.  also dont use cheap thermal paste. spend the money for arctic silver. you can get arctic V offa ebay for like 2 bucks, at frys its around 12. also arctic clean is good to take off the old crappy compound. cheap thermal compound SUCKS.

It could possibly be that your computer is getting too hot. Here's a program that can help monitor your computer's temp:\n\nhttp://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,7309,RSS,RSS,00.asp\n\nAlso you should check for viruses as previously suggested. Here's a place you can get free virus software if you don't have any: www.avast.com.\n\nYou might also try the windows troubleshooter guide.

Could be a variety of things... check to see if the cpu is overheating... it may turn itself off to prevent damage.  I would take it back though, it's new, they should look at it for free.

Could be a number of things ... if it's a virus you need to remove the hard-drive and "piggy-back" it into another computer for a complete virus scan \nIt could be the Thermal Grease on your CPU has dried out causing overheating, or a cooling fan not working that will shut most newish machines down or it could be something else hardware related

This is due to hardware problem. Could be your video card overheating too. What are your system specs? Do you have any hardware monitoring tools in windows. I'd recommend Everest to monitor you temps until you can narrow what the cause is. In my experience, this is usually a vid card overheating, but it doesn't have to be that

A CPU, normally works between 100F & 140F. and your CPU temprature is OK. Older CPUs work near 100 and Faster CPUs work near 140. so don't worry about it.

Did you check the fan? It may be getting overheated for some reason.

It's overheating.  You need to get a cooling pad.

add more RAM. that or you can open it up and mess with the jumpers or switches. Doing that will cause the processor to become hotter and it may overheat, ruining you notebook.

might be that your cpu overheated....\n\ncould also be software issue..ie..spyware.\n\ncan also be your HD encountered bad error\n\n\nwhat am i trying to say?  that symptom alone is too generic.. could be a lot of causes

if u hav a AGP graphics card then it could be heating up... happened wid me... or there can also be a virus attack.. the rest a hardware prob in monitor or curcuit prob possible.

I just had a similar problem, I took the cpu cooler out and washed it under running water, to clean off all the dirt that builds up. Now it's running at about 90 degrees at idle.

Your cpu fan may not be working. You need to replace it before you computer overheats.\n\nThe CPU fans are not expensive, and easy to install. If your computer is a name brand computer, you can usually search the company's website for instruction on how to replace it.\n\nGood luck

Likely you have a heat problem.\nor it could be a fan rotation warning, some motherboards can alarm you if fan speed drops below a set level....\n\nPay attention to it regardless, and have someone look at it !

A computer can be in real trouble if dirty. From what it sounds like, you need to take off the cover, take it OUTSIDE and use a can or two of air on it. I have seen CPU heatsinks clogged solid, fires almost starting in Power Supplies and who knows what else from dirt build up. The freezing could be from overheating alone. Make sure the fans work. A CPU should not run over 55 or 60C.\nGet some masking tape to cover up the port and try to blow it out every few months.

Not looking at the specs...I'd say that is VERY high. You should look at cooling your computer case more. My CPU usually runs upper 90's. Letting your CPU run at that temp could burn it.

I don't think you can slow down the processor speed enough to get it to run cooler. Why is your processor running so hot? You should keep the fans clear of everything, IE. don't put your laptop on a bed or surrounded by blankets.. this will get the laptop some room to disperse the heat and won't freeze up or crash.\nYou get special stands with fans on them where you can put the laptop on .. and they will help cool the thing down. \n\nIf nothing helps, take it back to the store and ask them to look at it. You might need more heat conductor gel or have them put the cpu heatsink back on it properly.
