Problem with my PC overheating.HELP!!!?

hi, well my PC power supply is at 127 degrees celcius even when im just searching the web, its on that now. i have this temp from speed fan and PC wizard, even though ive just turned PC on 5 minuts ago and it was at 80 degrees at switch on. So its pretty damn hot, even though its feels freezing cold :S confusing i know, its a brand new power supply cos i bought it yesterday, i bought it because i thought my other one might be broke cos it was showing me the same temps. my processor is 31 degrees celcius my motherboard is 32 and my GPU is 42 and my core is 18. so i really dont no whats wrong with it. if i even try to play a game the PC just turns off within seconds, like complete power loss. ive been trying to find the answer to this for 2 months now and its driving me crazy, ive replaced the motherboard, harddrive,RAM sticks,Processor, powersupply and graphics card. so im completely baffled, all i can think is that its a bios problem but i have no idea how to change temps in the bios and i dont no how to underclock or anything im a PC noob lol so plz does anyone have some sort of idea what could be going wrong. there are 3 large size fans in case, one on front, one on back and one on side. PSU fan is spining and blowing cold air out, ive checked for dust and its all clear. oh and on speed fan for like half a second the temp 127degrees flicked to -66 degrees real quick for a sec. thanx plz try work this out for me. thanx

From a quick google search others are having issues with that psu. Atrix isnt exactly a well known brand and when buying a psu its generally a good plan to get a brand thats decent. Whats the exact model of your psu? Its possible it doesn't have enough amps for your setup. I didnt even think you could get a temp reading off your psu, are you sure thats what your reading? If it feels cool to the touch and the air isnt hot as hell blowing out of it then maybe its a false reading.

Did you take off the cpu cooler/heat sink? When you put it back on did you clean off the old thermal paste and apply new paste?Problem with my PC overheating.HELP!!!?
You need to be using BIOS Version F4 or higher 2008/04/30

* For F4 BIOS, please also update the AMD Chipset driver to version 8.470 or later.



You should test the memory for errors with memtest86+.

You may need to adjust BIOS memory settings. The temperatures you quoted don't seem to be accurate.Problem with my PC overheating.HELP!!!?
It isn't any of your computers hardware causing your problem. All the temps except for the PSU are normal. I know you realize that any metal object 127C is going to fry your hand. You said you replaced your PSU. Did you turn the fan to the inside of your case, and not facing the top of the case? That is my only guess as to the PSU overheating so much. Yes if a PSU is getting that hot, it willl just cut off, not sure why it hasn't burnt out before now though...

You don't need to underclock your CPU, that isn't your problem 31C is normal for a 6000 CPU with a factory AMD heatsink...

That PSU name brand is very weak, I have never heard of it. Check the specifications on the side panel of it. Look and see how many amps it has on the +12Volt rail or rails. Your system shouldn't need over 25amps total, but if you only have 25amps, it might have fouled the rail or rails out in the PSU. Many 700Watt PSU's are going to have 30 amps at least, but being a no name brand, would make me wonder. Just like Wattage, wattage is one thing that the PSU manufactures have been able to distort for years now, like saying 700Watts, when actually ANY 700Watt PSU on the market really only gets and average of 650W at best... Not saying Wattage is your issue at all, yours should actually run on 400W easily, just needs the amperage of 25A...Problem with my PC overheating.HELP!!!?
I have read reviews that the Atrix power supply gets extremely hot....It is not very good as it is cheaply made....If you bought a good name brand unit like Corsair,OCZ or Antec it would probably solve your situation....



Speed fan is not always accurate either......



here are 3 good power supplies I would recommend......



Antec----http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as



Corsair-------550w------http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as



OCZ------550w fatalilty-------http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as





those are all 550w units with 2--6 pin PCIe power connectors....they are very good and are twice the quality of the atrix power supply you have now....these will run your 9600gso w/no problems.....
