Re: Either big virus or small problem

It's less that I ignored what you said and more that I'm not that great without seeing pictures and reading tuts. I'll try out what you said but I just thought Id post that when I found the max and set it to lower than that its been working decently better today.

Re: Either big virus or small problem

Is that an on-board chipset, or an actual card that you insert into the PCI-e or AGP slot?

Re: Either big virus or small problem

I would assume its an on-board chipset because I bought the computer from CompUSA. It's not a custom job.

Re: Either big virus or small problem

In that case, if it is getting too hot, the only thing you can do is improve the air flow in your case.
Have you managed to get the cpu temperature yet?

Re: Either big virus or small problem

Ok so today I hit a snag, the computer has been running fine but today it has not. It refused to start up and frequently froze or restarted. When I did get it going it kept making me log in (something I never have to do) and then proceeded to load in low resolution with bad color settings.

Re: Either big virus or small problem

There is a good chance that your motherboard/onboard graphics is dying. Does your board have an agp or pci-e slot? Can you borrow a graphics card to try out?
