Vcore to high? / Computer to hot?
« on: July 09, 2005, 10:46:17 AM »
Hi everyone, a few nights ago my computer restarted itself for no reason and after doing some searching on what the problem could be I downloaded Sandra and found that my temprature was running at 58 degrees celcius and my CPU voltage is at 2.22V.

There is also a warning message that says the Vcore is higher than the rated maximum. I have no idea what this means, anyone that could help would be much appreciated!

Shouldn't the Vcore be 1.5 volts?

Depends on the processor.

It has a 3.0GHz Intel Pentium 4

It is not under warranty anymore and they don't provide support for it.

Is there anyway to adjust the volts?

You can under clock your processor in the BIOS.
