Bios specs and computer problems 2013-06-09T08:54:21+00:00 Hey hey, let's get down to the bottom of my Pc problems shall we? My eyes are shot from typing all this and writing so I'm just as upset as you are. Here we go. I decided to start looking into my computer specs and trying to figure out what is the problem and how I could fix it. Now in no way, shape, or form, am I a computer genius, but with a little help from the community I may be able to pull this off. Now my computer suddenly crashed while inside of studio one 2, which was very weird. I've had a crash a few times now from various things and the screen goes "BLUE" with lots of words on it. To sum it up it basically says "dumping files, please uninstalled any recent software." Not sure why this happens but it does and I just restart and continue on. However, the second part to this is sometimes when I restart or even just start up my computer; it takes you through the various screens as we all know. At some point it hits a screen called "American megatrends" and it's a black screen with red wording and the information says "CPU overheated please press F1 to fix." Below is most of the specs for my PC that was custom built by my dad's brother who has supposedly been working on them for year's or is just smart in that sense. He's apparently good with cables and electric stuff. So he built it but I bought the parts. This was about 3-4 years ago now it seems like. Maybe I just need a new computer? Before that let's see the specs shall we? So I pressed Delete on the start-up screen and got into my BIOS and this is most of the information I wrote by hand but I admit that after most of the writing and towards the end I gave up with getting everything written down because most was set to auto anyways and there was just so many different names and long wording that I got frustrated. Here it is. American megatrends. V/02.61 1985-2009 Advanced settings: Intel core ™ i7 CPU 920 2.67GHZ. Frequency - 2.66 BCLK - 133MHZ Cache - L1 = 128KB Cache - L2 = 1024KB Cache - L2 = 8192 KB Ratio actual = Value 20 CPUID = 106A4 MAIN: Sata 1-5 = Not detected Sata 6 = HL- DT - ST - DVD ROM GH Device = Atapi CD ROM Vendor = GH22LS40 PIOMODE = 4 Hard disc write protect = Disabled Bios info Version 0603 Build date = 05/19/09 System memory Usable size = 12279 Mb AI TWEAKER: AI over clock tuner = Auto CPU RATIO setting = Auto Intel speed step = Enabled Turbo mode = Enabled D ram Frequency = Auto UCLK Frequency = Auto Qpi link data rate = Auto CPU voltage = auto CPU pll voltage = auto HARDWARE MONITOR CPU temp = 84 c and 183 F MB temperature = 38 c and 100 F CPU fan speed = 1962 rpm = varies CPU q fan = disabled CPU voltage = 1.056V Driver xpert current mode = super speed And that's most of what I wanted to write down. Really not sure what to do now but I can't have my computer failing on me or I'll never get any music made this way.

Have you installed that temp watching app? What does it's logs say?
Sounds like your uncle could help you out, if he feels just a tiny bit responsible...

Instead of spending nearly $4000 on a microphone 'just because', spend $100 on taking your system to a repair shop with a clue.
