Heat is always a problem on PC of any kinds not serviced
ever clean it? of all that lint?
no OS stated,l 32bit OS will only do about 3.5GB, max.
on most cheaper PC that the GPU chip steals main ram to run.
all CPU made lower speed hot, inside the CPU CHIP
that is Intel magic inside doing that. deep where you cant go.
only cure is a good clean heatsink, good thermal bond compound
and good fan and a cas fan that runs. and works
the PSU has fan if it dies, how can the PSU keep cool
and the main chassis breath, unless it too has fan.
mine as I type has 4 fans
CPU
GPU
PSU
case.
all work and the case inside never ever overheats.
ever run a program to see CPU heat, ? it tell you its temperature.
do so and you see, omg it is too hot its like 90C.
this is the magic temp that the Intel inside kicks it and keeps CPU from burning itself up (they all do that since first Pentiums made to now)
that motherboard many not allow 4GB.
id have to look up the number stamped on it to be sure
this PC is old most are now scrapped. this old.
id scrape it and get a 64bit 2007 or newer PC with windows 7
there, or newer. I would, so it has value and a future.
HP has zero support on things this old. zip
again no OS stATED, BY you, how in the world can we guess that? and matters.
the old data sheet said 3GB max

snopping about it says , Asus made it for HP under contract.
ASUS PTGD-LA
deep scans inside Hp finds this gem
4GB max, (and says less)
the fact is fining memory in 2016 for 12 year old mobo
and making its BIOS happy and that old Pentium 4.
is no fun at all, hard, and expensive.
Id up grade the PC before dumping cash on the wrothless
Pentiums are in the crush and recycle bin at Goodwill stores..

The fan is plugged into the mobo.
I don't know the fan voltage or the PSU, but could it be because of the PSU giving the fan more power?
If that is the case, would I just be able to buy a fan that requires a higher voltage?
