P4 2,53 with thermal solution

[Easier]

Hello all,

I have a problem with my new PC upgrade
Recently installed a P4 2,53@533 boxed but when im playing my online RPG i regularly get booted to desktop or my windows XP just plainly reboots.
I check the temperature in the bios and i see that it reaches up to 53C on the CPU.
I have a QDI superb4 EA motherboard and i know out of exp that they are quite accurate with the display of the temp.
I am wondering if 53C is too much for a P4 and if thats the reason my system gets unstable, if so i will have to get a new cooler.

I have a cooler in stock made by SPIRE and a green cooler, cant recall the product number atm but can anyone give me some advise if these are good brands or tell me at what temp my P4 should run?

Thanks in advance


PS: i havent tweaked anything and use kingston 512MB PC2700 memory runnin at 333mhz

The temp is fine but it does sound like a driver error. Go into the control panel/admin tools/ Event Viewer and there you should find what the problem was at each time. When the P4 gets to 75c it will start to "throttle" itself but not restart. ;)

Actually P4 heat output is the same as for Athlons and my Athlons get up to high 50C's here (sadly no a/c and high 30C days here lately) but a Volcano 7+ will get you cooler. ;)

Does the motherboard support DDR333? Does running the memory at 266MHz give stability? :?:

Copy and paste the error as someone here may know about it. :)

Faulting application coreldrw.exe, version 10.410.0.0, faulting module coreldrw100.dll, version 10.410.0.0, fault address 0x00a6abd4.

Faulting application coreldrw.exe, version 10.410.0.0, faulting module crlutl100.dll, version 10.410.0.0, fault address 0x00012355.

Fault bucket 01329259.

My MB should support DDR333 it says so on the box and it uses SIS645DX chipset

And i put ram back to 266 and it seems a lot more stable but what a waste of money then if its has to be run at this speed for stability. :cry:

It could just be a hardware incompatibility between the mem & mobo (happens) but what is the difference between your room air temp there and that of the system (not the cpu)? :?:
