Hey everyone.. í've assemblied a thunderbird 1.2ghz on abit K7A and i'm getting some crashes...simply the avarege temp is about 65ºc and the sistem is : Quantum AS, Geforce-2 mx, 256 RAm pc133 cas 2, X gamer 5.1 sound card, Everythin NEW... just bought from store
the computer is so weird ..sometime on windows the mouse freeze for alittle while and backs to move... and simply on a light application it really crashes
help me out please...
 
Umm 65c is a bit high and quite simply could be the source of the problem. I have a duron which is tougher to cool. Then a T-Bird and the highest I have hit under load is 52c. So unless someone corrects me I would consider the cooling to a be a issue on the T-Bird itself.

Like Maestro said it is probably a heat issue but I could also be power. What kind of psu do you have? T-birds can take more heat if they aren't overclocked but I think 65 is way to hot. Did you buy the computer from a store or did you build it. If it was built by a shop you may be able to have theareI could also be power. What kind of psu do you have?

I think they forgot to put the HSF on. I rccomend not running the computer again untill you get the new HSF(heatsink/fan), so there is no way to fry it.
Good luck!

BUMP- that is a AMD frying pan in my opinion, that is one hot chip- definately check to make sure the HS is seated correctely and reapply with some AS2
