limits on open apps?


I'm getting a weird series of errors, which would likely be fixed by a restart, but I'd rather it not come to that.

Not able to right-click, or your right-click menu not having all options...

Programs simply refusing to launch

Amongst other things. Thing is, for every 1 program I close, I can open another, or perform a proper right-click action. I know that restarting, and to a lesser extent with spyware/other weird behavior, reformatting. About the latter, IMO, that's like bulldozing and rebuilding your house to fix an interior wall - overkill. Any non-restart, non-formatting answers welcome, or an explanation as to why this is happening is also welcome.

EDIT: My main anti-restart stance is because my psu appers to jump in temperature and requires several hours to cool below 60c. That isn't even possible during summer. Thirdeas has stated that speedfan can be unreliable with temps, but I've accounted for every sensor, and the psu one warms and cools according to what I subject the PSU too. Also, the amount of FF tabs that can be opened appear to be unlimited :S

I am quite worried about your PSU if that's what happens after every restart. How are you measuring the PSU temp with speedfan exactly? I don't know of any PSUs that can do that (because speedfan measures sensors attached to the motherboard.....I have no idea how it can get temp data off the PSU, if the PSU even has a temp sensor at all)

It's a temp that I can't control short of shoving a fan in it for a couple of hours or putting the psu in the freezer. Wouldn't it be attached to the mobo via the power cables and enable a sensor there? Speedfan simply picks it up as the last temperature... "found ACPI temperature".

That's definitely not the PSU temperature, the power cables carry power only, and the plugs on the board receive power only. VERY few, if any have features like that (read the reviews on jonnyguru.com, not even $500 PSU's have temperature sensors that connect to the motherboard).

A lot of the temperatures listed on speedfan are for sensor chip inputs that have no actual sensor attached, hence a lot of the temperatures are erroneous. A good way to verify what some of the temperatures listed actually represent is to install whatever temperature utility comes with your motherboard, and match the speedfan temps up with that.

Most systems nowadays will have about 4 sets of temperatures. The CPUs themselves will have a thermal diode inside them, the motherboard will likely have a diode near the cpu socket and one elsewhere (CPU and case temps respectively), the video card will have GPU and case temps also, and the HDD will report it's temp as well. Anything other than those is most likely unconnected and not actually reporting anything.
