Hello
my secendary computer seems to be fighting for its life at the moment. its a busy computer working for gaming during the day to TV at night, has very little rest [around 5 years old].
lately it has been turning off unexpectedly and requiring me to wait awhile then switch the PSU off and on - then turn on, to get working again.
I figuered that the computer was overheating because the computer needed some time before i could start it up again.
It mostly shutsdown when playing CSS or GW.
and for some strange reason it shuts down more rarely [thogh it still does] when its booted into linux.
All considered what do you think i should do?
x86 Intel Pentium 4 2.4ghz
512 megs of ram
