Random shut downs
Hello all:
This is my first post and I come barring a problem. I posted this under the gamming section due to the fact it only happens when I am playing games. I do not think it is a heatting issue due to the fact that not much hot air is comming out the vents in the back as well as the vent for the vid card. How can I tell if it is a problem with the hard drive or something else? Any help is apprecated.

Last night I took the fan off the heat sink and clean up the dust under it. There was some on it but not alot. I ran a game in windows mode and had everest running next to it. The highest it got was up to 65 degrees.
i went to this site last night: www.almico.com to download speedfan but for some reason I could not find the link to download it. Last edited by Getout2280; November 9th, 2007 at 11:14 PM.
