Title: Vcore to high? / Computer to hot?
Post by: Angela24 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!

Depends on the processor.

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

Is there anyway to adjust the volts?
