I also have the same problem, but my CPU is constantly under 40 degrees celcius (104 farenheit), so I don't think this is the problem. And I didn't overclocked mine. I searched for programs that could cause that, I searched for errors on hardrives, registry... I haven't found anything. And I don't think it's an OS problem, as mine is Win2k pro (and yours is 98). |

I had the same problem a few weeks ago, seems to have gone away for the moment. And this is a win98se machine as well. No idea about checking the processor temperature, but I had it apart a few months ago, so the connections shouldn't have worked loose. Oh well, look forward to someone getting to the bottom of this. |

There could be several causes for this kind of problem: |

Drac : this is not an heating issue, at least on my computer. Like I said I have such a program that monitor the temperature of the CPU and of the whole computer, which never gets high even when my computer has to work a lot (renders during a few hours for example). In fact, the box of my computer (sorry doesn't the know the exact name in English) is a good Enermax, so I don't have any heating issue. Furthermore, the power of this box is quite good enough, and I don't have many external peripherics, just a single hardrive, a network card, a CD burner, a DVD drive and a 3D card. This is really strange because I can connect this problem to another one. Sometimes, my optical mouse gets bugged : it slows a lot, or even stop answering for a few seconds. That is not a really important, just an occasional annoying issue. I've talked of that with a friend of mine and he said it was due to a problem on the VIA chipsets on the motherboards (mine is a KT-333), that didn't allowed enough power to periphericals. When my mouse bugs, it's a lack of energy allowed by the motherboard, even though I have enough energy on my computer. So I htought the problem discussed here could be bound to that... Anyones knows a way to correct it without being obliged to flash the BIOS ? |

a) Newer AMDs shut themselves down when they get too hot. Don't think the TB 800 had it, though. |

It could very well be the main board or as TP said, something funky could be happening with your mains power. |
