Problem Overheating I Think

Hi, I have speedfan 4.31 which tells you the temp of your computer. Whenever my computer does a long scan or where the computer is doing a number of things it gets up to about 43 C degrees and may computer shuts off. What do you think I need to do? In my speedfan startup, it says … SuperIO Chip=NS PC87591E (PLEASE REPORT) Do you have any idea what this means? My computer never had this problem before and now I can't do anything without it shutting off. This is a laptop. Thanks, Paul

hi epictrance73, 43c isnt excessive. i assume you mean the CPU temp. that error message: maybe speedfan isnt recognizing something on your mainboard and cant function or provide all the data. do the fans appear to be working according to speedfan?

this is what speedfan posted after startup Win9x:NO 64Bit:NO GiveIO:YES SpeedFan:YES I/O properly initialized Linked ISA BUS at $0290 Linked Intel 82801CAM ICH3 SMBUS at $1840 Scanning ISA BUS at $0290… SuperIO Chip=NS PC87591E (PLEASE REPORT) Scanning Intel SMBus at $1840… SMART Enabled for drive 0 Found IC25N030ATCS04-0 (30.0GB) Found ACPI temperature (80.0C) End of detection Loaded 0 events AC is ONLINE Battery Charge LOW CHARGING Battery Life Percentage 0% AC is ONLINE Battery Charge LOW CHARGING Battery Life Percentage 0% AC is ONLINE Battery Charge LOW CHARGING Battery Life Percentage 0% AC is ONLINE Battery Charge LOW CHARGING Battery Life Percentage 0% AC is ONLINE Battery Charge LOW CHARGING Battery Life Percentage 0% AC is ONLINE Battery Charge LOW CHARGING Battery Life Percentage 0% AC is ONLINE Battery Charge LOW CHARGING Battery Life Percentage 0% AC is ONLINE Battery Charge LOW CHARGING Battery Life Percentage 0% AC is ONLINE Battery Charge LOW CHARGING Battery Life Percentage 0% Paul

I found this too Almost every EIDE or SATA hard disk includes S.M.A.R.T. data. That information is collected by the drive itself and contains data that the manufacturer considered relevant to check reliability. The data is made up of several attributes that have a current value, a worst one, a threshold, some raw data, and some flags. Basically, when any attribute's current value is below its threshold, the hard disk is considered unreliable and likely to fail. By using several techniques, this report tries to give a wider range of info, basing its analysis on advanced comparisons with normal values based on real hard disks and on expert-like checks. The final results are not to be taken as an absolute truth, but they are a very good approach to what a professional would say about your hard disk status. Your hard disk is a IC25N030ATCS04-0 with firmware CA3OA71A. The average temperature for this hard disk is 42C (MIN=29C MAX=54C) and yours is 41C. Your hard disk's S.M.A.R.T. attributes are now being analyzed and a full report about the reliability, health and status of your hard disk is generated: Your hard disk is not below any attribute threshold. This is good. Your hard disk was never below any attribute threshold. This is good. Your hard disk is now being compared to real data used to define normal values for your specific hard disk model. This way, the analysis can automatically use proper operating ranges. The images give you an idea of how each attribute is within such range. Current and raw values are shown for easier reference for experienced users. There are 1742 hard disk models in the current archive.

The overall fitness for this drive is 90%. The overall performance for this drive is 90%. The link to get back and see a new report about this hard disk in the future is this. Consider that new hard disks and new checks are added over time. DISCLAIMER: this report does its best to highlight issues and warnings related to your hard disk. It cannot be held responsible for any mistake. This page and its results cannot be used in any other way but the one defined by its author. I need to see why my computer keeps shutting off… Thanks for you time, Paul

there could be many reasons for a computer shutting down. hardware,software, malware, or heat

SuperIO Chip=NS PC87591E (PLEASE REPORT)

looks like a chip on your board isnt supported by speedfan
look here:

do you have/ use updated antivirus and antimalware software? have you scanned lately. have you installed any new software, hardware or drivers lately?

Its been shutting down my computer for quite some time now. DO you think its because i have speedfan installed? What do you think I need to do?

continue on with the thread in the notebooks forum.
