Sandip Karmakar: My configuration
is AMD Athlon 2400XP+ processor, Asrock K7VM2 motherboard
and 256 MB DDR RAM. From the day of purchase, my Unitron
UPS isn?t working properly. When the power supply is disconnected,
my computer trips and restarts, which results in improper
shutdown. I informed the UPS manufacturer and they replaced
my set. But the problem persists. Now, the UPS manufacturers
are saying that my BIOS setting is incorrect. I have not
found any relevant option in the BIOS except ?Over Vcore
Voltage?, which is disabled. Will enabling it solve the
problem?
TechTalk: There isn?t any
relevant BIOS setting that can solve your problem. The UPS
seems to be faulty. Assuming you have a generic 17? monitor,
a single hard-drive and a single CDROM/DVD-ROM drive with
the rest of the configuration provided, your system consumes
close to 400W or 560VA (Voltamps) of power without a printer
or other power-consuming equipment connected to the UPS.
Check it with a good UPS of 600VA rating.
Swarnava Seal: I have an
Intel Pentium IV processor, 256 MB RAM and Windows 98 and
Windows XP. While playing some games, I got an alert that
the temperature in System Zone 2 of the CPU had risen.
TechTalk: To play latest
games like Doom 3 or Half Life 2, you need
high-end graphics cards that have their own faster graphics
memory (VRAM) and separate graphics data processing unit
(GPU). You need not worry about the temperature warning
as long as there is no crash. System Zone 2 refers to the
area where the system RAM is located. Intel Active Monitor
sends the alert because the warning temperature has been
set too low for your system.
