    OK, lets do some temp monitoring: Core Temp
    And / or : GPU-Z Video card GPU Information Utility

    It's funny, I just got Core Temp, because it was a perfectly timed download of the day from the PC Mag daily newsletter. It's going now. But hopefully you have experience with it -- if the computer freezes, then obviously I'll be able to get the last temp, but if it crashes, will there be a way to get the past info or something? And really, 111 F is a low temp? I know they run warm, but geez...

    I'd keep CPU and GPU below 80 degrees Celcius which is about 175 F....
    If the rest of the notebook, specifically airflow from the fan(s) is ok... that should not be a problem. GPU-Z has a logger you can turn on.. that way you'll have the latest before a crash.

    Well, it looks like I have the log going one the one, although the GPU core clock or Memory clock sure aren't doing anything. Should I be doing something with the validation tab there? And at least outside the computer, ever since my first laptop where I didn't know these things at first, I have had the laptops elevated in a certain way so that there is air moving around and it's not blocked off. Now, inside it, well, that's not my expertise. I know a fair amount about computers, but not enough, hence why I'm here. :)

    You don't need to validate. And don't worry bout not seeingthe clocks as long as you see a correct seeming temp, that's all we want for now....

    Well, so far, so good, I haven't hit 175 or anything... but I did shut it off midday when I needed a nap due to my allergies - I wanted to be wake to see if something happened or whatever.

    But can you point me to a Win Xp version of this site, I have a netbook, which I've been using when I can't use this computer, but now all of a sudden I can't get online there, it keeps stopping at acquiring network address/ waiting for network to be ready. It was working all day, but slowing down at a certain point. So, given that the cable was blacking out for a moment here and there, I figured I just needed to do what I always do, unplug the router for a few seconds, and it'll come back on. And it hasn't. And the help I've been googling so far hasn't helped. So if something happened with this one, I'm down to my pda to get online for help here, and well, rather not. Too small.

    Yeah, I'm just one problem after another, aren't I... ugh.

    As for the Win7 one over here, I can't give you any new info given that it was a freeze and not a crash, but glutton for punishment that I am, tried watching the streaming video news show that comes on at 8, and ~ 10 minutes after starting it, it froze. So I can tell you that Core #0 Temp was 147 F, Core #1 was 144, and if the Load column is something you need, though I imagine not, 36%/23%. And the other thing only seems to have

    GPU Core Clock [MHz] , GPU Memory Clock [MHz] ,

    640.0 , 0.0 ,

    no matter the time. And I did shut it off for a few minutes before trying the video. And now I'm going to hit my head against the wall, two computers, and basically can't use either of them. Definitely on the verge of a breakdown here shortly. LOL

    OV, I've reread the whole thread, I'm still not syre what it is so all I can think of now is some structured troubleshooting. Ofcourse you don't have to repeat stuff we've already done but please go through this tutorial https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...oting-7-a.html

    And check every point. Please be sure to do the hardware tests advised there (like memtest86)

    Good luck!

    Hi - I will get to this as soon as I can; right now I'm trying to figure out why my XP netbook will not connect to the internet all of a sudden, and if I don't have that when this goes down or crashes again, then I have no way to getting online. At this point, I'm just so close to throwing all these things against the wall it isn't funny. But like I said, as soon as I can, I'll do it - I printed it out, so I have something, but if I have download something, well, I'll deal with that when I get to it.
