Best Answer: Click Start > Run.
When the Run dialog box appears, Type:
services.msc /s
Click OK.
The Services window opens.
In the right pane, locate the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service.
(A service named Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator exists. Do not confuse the two.)
Right-click the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service, and then click Properties.
Click the Recovery tab.
Using the drop-down lists, change First failure, Second failure, and Subsequent failures selecting " Take no action "
Click Apply, and then click OK.
Re:Have you monitored your CPU volatge yet? Maby it could be spikig.
I would say take the HSF off of your CPU and take the CPU out. Give it a good looking over and then reseat. Now get that thermal pad off of there and put some thermal past on it.
Re:i'm running WIndows 98 btw
there are no other programs running, i chekced in ctrl alt delete and by holding alt tab, and checking the startup program list in msconfig. it's just the regular stuff. Explorer, Point32(the intellimouse drivers), system tray and usual windows stuff like that.
and yes the CPU fan is working always i checked. and the power supply fan is working too, i can always feel it blowing out hot air out the back of my computer.
and i don't want to have to mod it and add a bunch of stuff just to get it running like it was, because before it was running fine overclocked for a year
Re:Can't say for sure about the CPU spikes. Have you checked Task Manager for other applications running, and not just in the system tray? Anything odd or that you don't recognize?
As far as the overheating…. The system worked fine before so something in the hardware has changed. Even with CPU spikes the temp shouldn't skyrocket to 75C.
Any chance you may have bumped the HS during the installation of the hard drive? Perhaps it was bumped and is no longer making 100% contact with the CPU.
You said you were positive the fan was still working; is it working all the time or could it be intermittent?
How about the PS fan? Loss of ventallation would cause an increase, but since the temperature increases quickly I would still be suspect of a problem around the CPU\HS area.
Many people prefer Artic Silver compound, but the stock thermal pad should still be able to keep things in cheack.
I would suggest pulling HS and checking the contact area, then clean and reapply some thermal paste to the HS and see if that helps. And of course check all other fans and vents in the case, blow out any dust with a can of compressed air.
Re:Here is something you could do. Open your case and put a regular fan outside it blowing air into the case. I use this and my CPU never goes over 34 C.
Re:just last week when i thouht all problems were settled my comp was running fine, 55-59 degrees. but now it's average temperature is 61-64. why the sudden rise. it was off for the entire week as i was on vacation.
I just tried running Scandisk but i can't because everytime I do my temperature shoots up to 70+ so i jsut shut down when it hit 73.
Re:no i'm positive the fan is running. i checked the speed thru the BIOS and through Speedfan and it's running, at 4,800 rpm. and as for the bumping… i had installed the new HD and it was running fine with no problems for like nearly 2 weeks.
and it was not overclocked when i installed Windows. i overclocked it after i installed the new CPU and formatter originally a year ago. and like 2 months ago i was in the BIOS trying to set my Parallel port to ECP mode to get my all in one machine's scanner to work, but everytime i turned on the comp i'd get a Windows Protection error, so i reset the BIOS to Optimized defaults, and never overclocked it again, and it was like a few weeks to a month after this that the problems started
wow… my computer was off for one and a half hours just now, turned it back on and it's at 61 degrees Celsius in just 5 minutes
Re:Is your fan on your heat sink plugged into a fan header on your motherboard? If so make sure it is plugged in nice and tight. You might want to move it to another fan header even. You might want to replace the fan and see if it keeps it up.
You might just have a fan that is about to die. Or just some loose connections on the fans power cable. You might want to run a program that will monitor your power and keep track of it. Then look in the history of it and see if you are getting power spikes or anything like that.
As far as the 100% CPU usage I am just not sure. On this board there has been multiple threads about a problem simial to this. As far as I know the only way they have solved it was to reinstall the OS. Also did you install windows with your CPU overclocked?
Re:When you installed the new hard drive, you didn't by chance unplug the fan on the heatsink, did you? I did that a few weeks ago to my 1.4, and couldn't figure out why it was idling at 65C. If it's still plugged in, maybe check the seating of the HSF to make sure it didn't get bumped.
Re:ugh, does no one know???
