INTEL DESKTOP MOTHERBOARD DG31PR OVERHEAT ISSUE PLEASE HELP . . =(

Hello,

As you can see from the link below:

http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=35348&code=Intel%C2%AE+Core%E2%84%A22+Duo+Processor+E7200+%283M+Cache%2c+2.53+GHz%2c+1066+MHz+FSB%29

The CPU temperature can go up to 74.1C. So i would say that it is okay.

Have you checked the temperature in the BIOS as well? Go to Advanced >> Hardware Monitoring

There is another Intel Tools that monitors the temperature .

All the best,

Hello Jameel,

What is the CPU temperature in the BIOS?

If it is lower than 74.1C, it is operating within the threshold range.

All the best.

Hello Jameel,

According to the TPS, the MCH temperature can go up to 97c which is within the range.

Do you have the latest bios version installed?

Have you installed Intel Desktop Utilities, it is a monitoring software that can give an idea the system is operating within normal range?

I am assuming that you have a good PSU which is at least version ATX 2.2

Try these and let me know how it goes.

Hello,

Which bios version do you have?

Go into the bios >> After the 86A, what is written?

If it is not version 68, try to update it.

If it is the version 0068, then i dont have any other suggestions. Which CPU model are you using? Check if the Power Supply is version atx 2.2 at least. (you will need to check from the manufacturer website)

Good Luck,

Hello Jameel,

No idea.

I guess that you have checked whether the memory meets the system requirements.

The board has two DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:

• 1.8 V (only) DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
• Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction: Double-sided DIMMs with x16 organization are not supported.
• 4 GB maximum total system memory using DDR2 667 or DDR2 800 DIMMs
• Minimum total system memory: 512 MB
• Non-ECC DIMMs
• Serial Presence Detect
• DDR2 800 or DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM DIMMs
• DDR2 667 SIMMs with SPD timings of only 5-5-5 (tCL-tRCD-tRP)
• DDR2 800 SIMMs with SPD timings of only 5-5-5 or 6-6-6 (tCL-tRCD-tRP)

Have you tried to test the system out of the chassis?

Hope someone else can help you now.

All the best,

Regards,

Aryan.

My chipset overheats and restarts my pc with no warnings in the BIOS or OS at all..........

I put a fan on the chipset and has since not had any issues.....I dont think I should have to buy and extra fan to make my computer work :/
