You will have to know the default processor and system bus frequencies, you can find the specifications for the processor on the manufacturer's website. Once you have that information, go into the BIOS and check to make sure the speeds match, or are close to the manufacturer's specifications. If these numbers are higher, then you have an overclocked system. Just restore the processor and system bus frequencies to default values to correct the issue.
The best way is to never let it get hot in the first place, by making sure you have a cooling system designed for an overclocked processor.
There are internet groups devoted to overclocking. I suggest you check with them.
overclocked
Yes, a smoke check has been conducted to verify that the system is operating correctly.
The most effective one is to opt for liquid cooling system. They system itself will depend on your configuration and what your CPU cabinet can accommodate. Air cooling is a cheaper and less effective solution.
i would say even a low-end core 2 duo is faster than even the fastest Pentium d..overclocked or not
Overheating. Is it overclocked, is there dust in the power supply, is there no air flow. Very common in laptops.
Heat is normally the biggest problem when it comes to Overclocking. Overclocking generates more heat within your system. If your cooling is inadequate then the component(s) being overclocked may be permanently damaged.
A malfunction with the air suspension system has been detected
you need appropriate cooling system, some chips will be better overclockers than others. You should remove the cooler, clean the thermal paste, apply a fresh batch and then re-mount the cooler. You should not need overclocking if you replace youe system with up to date hardware.
