It sometimes happens that it overheats to above 100°C and then shuts down automatically. I checked the temperature in BIOS after restarting. The fan sometimes just stops, but it starts working again if I give it a slight push with my finger. I don't intend to buy a new one since I'm planning to buy a new computer in some 3-4 months. Well, at least not while this one is usable enough.
I would like to be able to read CPU temperature from Windows.
I tried Open Hardware Monitor and Core Temp, but none of them seem to support Intel Celeron, as both are showing the temperature as 0. Does anyone know a program that supports Celeron?
my word 10 years for a fan!, thats damn good
defo replace the fan, clean out any dust (get a compressed air can, but remember to turn power off 1st, unplug power cable) and blow it all out, do same to gfx card and around HD's
i use MSI afterburner, it monitors my fans on mb.gfx card, but that might not work for you if you MB doesn't send information to it, some old boards cant do it
