[QUOTE="UglyToad, post: 1610739, member: 198304"] Here's an unlikely possibility: airflow to the CPU has been blocked by dust or dirt. Even better, you could be experiencing a repeat of the very first computer problem, discovered by Grace Mary Hopper in 1947 (see [url=http://www.jamesshuggins.com/h/tek1/first_computer_bug.htm]First Computer Bug[/url]) A moth had gotten caught in a relay. Subsequently, any operational problem with a computer was called a bug. Check to see if there isn't a moth on top of your CPU. [/QUOTE]
