error in setup

[orked]

hi,
when i setup windows ,i face a problem
this problem is the pc couldnot complete setup and going to start page which contain all information about cpu and other and tell me cpu over temperture error
what i can do

If your CPU is showing hot then the CPU fan should be running extreemly fast. If it's not then fix it or replace it. If it is running properly then you may have a sensor problem on your MB that is showing a CPU overheat even when it's not.

Of course it could also be a problem with the CPU itself.

Post back and let us know how the fan is running.

my fan is running properly ,and this message appeared after another message that contained(file ' asms'on windows xp professional service pack 2 CD is needed) and gave me textbox to write the place of this file
i changed the copy of windows but the same error happend
this problem happend after downloaded program and setup it ,during setup , suddenly my pc made restart more than one time by it self and still made that until i turned off power
when it made that ,i thought the problem come from MP and fan, so i removed fan and MP ,i didnot find the tempreture of MP is high and fan running properly
i returned every thing in it's place and tried to run it but it made restart in one time and in the second work but suddenly shutdown
i though to setup window to remove virus if there was
what can i do to fix this problem?
thanks

Take the fan off of your cpu and clean any accumulated dust off of the heat sink / CPU and Fan. Use a can of compressed air (not a vacume) to clean it. After everything is clean try to restart your system.

After the post, press F8 to get boot options and start the system in safe mode. If windows starts and doesn't shut down, leave it running for awhile to see if it shuts down on you. If it's ok then try to do a normal restart.

You said that this problem happened after you downloaded a program and ran the setup? If that is true, what program was it? Where did you get the program?

the program was sql server2005 express , i downloaded it from site concerned to microsoft
i fixed this problem by cleaning the fan and formatting all parts of HD
thanks for all

Just another thought: Is your Windows CD scratched by any chance? That might be the problem. To test that, you could try to borrow someones CD and use your own serial number. (Of course, if you have a OEM CD, that might be problematic. Also, if you use XP Home you can't use a XP Pro CD and vice versa.)

Greetings,

CD not scratched and i tried 3CD to made sure that the CD was not the problem, before downloading this program the computer was working good

I am just debuggin this very same error message on my machine. I don't know where I picked it up, but it seems to definitely be caused by a virus. I thought the possibility of overheating, but then questioned the spelling error in temperature. I had Avast running on my machine which updates daily. How I got the virus I don't know.
I tried installing Kapersky anti-virus, but wouldn't install with Avast installed. I couldn't get Kapersky to auto-remove Avast. Into Safe Mode I went (F8 on startup). I removed Avast, and after some time finally got Kapersky running with the latest virus definitions.

I got to about 42% through the virus scan where I had to remove a couple of files, when the scan seemed to stall. I took note of the file it couldn't get passed, unfortunately I didn't write it down, but it started with 0. (yes that was a zero and a period). It was in my c:\documents and settings\<my personal folder>\Local Settings\Temp folder. After manually deleting this file, rebooting, and restarting the Kapersky scan, it completed without further incident. To note, upon reboot, I didn't get the error message again. It's not done the scan, but performance seems to have returned to it's previous level for the few items I've done since the restart. It was painfully slow to even open a window prior to runnig the virus scan.

I hope this helps you.
