Why would your Windows 98 computer automatically restart after 15-20 minutes?In: Windows |
Answer
On some motherboards, when the CPU temperature gets too high, it will automatically reboot the system in hopes of cooling the chip and the associated hardware. This is not a normal occurance though - if your PC is rebooting automatically, something is wrong with the fans inside your PC case. Check to see if one of the fans aren't turning on or is running too slow.
Answer
The fans will affect that. MY moms laptop did that and all it was was a dust buildup on the fan and most processors nowadays have a thermal sensor and when it gets too hot it shuts the computer down to try and prevent the processor from dying. It could also happen because the processor IS dying and needs replacing
