my computer is now having lockups when i make it WORK.
i dont mean play a game, or prime, or anything like that...whne i really mke it work it will just lock.
Example: Last night i was burning a cd, listening to mp3's, downloading, and on aim.
My downloading program utalizes multiple download sites for the same file, to improve speed...but its a rather hog of resource. MBM5, among other things, were running. Locked up about half way through the cd
Night before, lisening to mp3s, palying NEED FOR SPPED UNDERGROUND, downloading, ect...locked up in the stupid preview things,
Night before that, locked up in the game, first race.
Things to note: CPU tep wasnt more than 45C in any of these cases, STOCK SPEED
ram is at STOCK SPEED, and extra loose timings.
the only conclusion i can come to is my NB is overheating...pobably due to the passive cooler (probably supposed to use cu exaust), watercooling (which made my case airflow much much lower) and overworking.
If im just playing need for speed it will go for 5 hours without a problem...it could be a cnflict with the game and my sound, but it froze during a cd burn last night, so im thinking its a heat problem.
Suggestions?
