Overheating/dodgy cpu

[Lewie]

Hi

Whoops!!
Hi again.
I have a Athlon 3200 Barton.
It is supposed to run at 2200, however, my pc wont even start up with these jumper settings, so, at the moment, I have it running at 10.5x instead of 11x. Problem is games lock up after 5 minutes or so and MBM says the cpu temp is getting up to 62 deg just before shut down.
I have ran my pc with a 2400 cpu and all seemed to be ok, never having problems with gaming.
Is my cpu dodgy or could it be that my mobo (GA-7vt600 1394) doesn't like this cpu?
Cheers

Hi,

Tips :
First : do you have updated to latest BIOS version ? If no update it.
Second : if you have plastic tube in case - remove it
Third : 62 degrees are too much for not overclocked CPU so you need better cooler or temp sensor is bad on your mobo (typical mistake in Gigabyte boards)
Fourth : Power supply can be demaged or to weak.

EDIT : Today we not give CPU and mobo in marriage - they mustn't like oneself ... they must work correctly

EDIT 2 : Disable "Top Performance" in BIOS.
