jeffmo@NoSpam-sv-lokiDOTcom tempted fate with: Just a thought - are you running Windows 98? On that OS they didn't handle the "idle loop" correctly and the CPU runs 100% all the time, maximizing heat. There is software to correct this. I think ME and XP don't have this problem. And another thing: You shouldn't be running a computer during the day when its hot - the fact that its shutting down is proof that God didn't intend them to be used for navigation! ;-} Hehe, good one. It's ME, running on a Duron with the PowerNow software, so that end should be OK. The box is a 2 year old HP Pavilion and I've heard that they are prone to this sort of thing because of a poor cooling design and substandard fans. Nice box, otherwise. I've added memory, which may contribute to the problem. __________________________________________________ __________ Glen "Wiley" Wilson usenet1 SPAMNIX at worldwidewiley dot com To reply, lose the capitals and do the obvious.
