Have two computers running Soyo Dragon+ motherboards with AMD xp 2000+ (1.67
GHz) and xp 2600+ (2.08 GHz) with cpu temperatures of 40 degC and 54 degC,
respectively, as shown on the Soyo Hardware Monitor. Recently the xp 2600
has been shutting down abruptly and I have to restart. Yesterday I couldn't
even restart without it freezing up or shutting down once into winxp-pro.
Today it started up and I deleted Norton AV in WinXP just in case that was
the problem. It is currently running so I beginning to think that the cpu
temperature gets too high. Does anyone know if 54 degC is marginal with
running added software causing it to go over the limit?

What are the temperature limits of cpu's?

Check to see if all the fans are working, case, power supply, etc.
Make sure the airflow coming out of the box is not blocked. Check for
a dirty air filter if you have one.

I added a Big Typhoon (P/N CL-p0114) heatsink & fan to replace the one
on the processor on my KT880 Dragon2. Temp now runs about 100 deg F.
The heat sink is not hot to the touch anymore.

Does your BIOS have Health Status settings? I found several posts
about the KT880 shutting down, the "fix" was to turn off FOC (Fan Off
Control) and ABR (Anti Burn Regulator).

54 deg C is not marginal. Check the literature on your CPU on the AMD
site. I think you'll find that the limit for continuous operation is up
around 80 degrees C or more.

You might check the northbridge HSF to be sure you aren't overheating
that chip. Don't forget that it could be the video system---test by
swapping the video card.

An easy way to see that it isn't a software problem would be to run
Linux (I recommend Ubuntu) from a "live CD". If Linux runs okay, you
know you will have to reinstall XP (or switch to Linux!).

At what clock speed do the Athlon chips run much hotter than the lower
speed chips? I have had an 1800+, a 2200+ and a 2700+ in the same system
and the 2700+ runs 13-15C hotter than either of the others (50C vs 35C). I
guess I shouldn't be concerned but over 50C just seems hot (and this is in
the winter with an ambient of 66F or so. In the summer, it has gotten over
60C with the virus scan running.
