| 532832 | 2007-03-15 10:31:00 | Re your HDD temperature, 45 degrees is higher than I would expect in a good case even for a 130GB drive. However I seriously doubt it's the cause of your troubles. Given you have recently updated your ATI drivers you could try going back to an older driver - again ensure you use ATI drivers specific for your card, and if possible use the drivers published by your card manufacturer. You could also check the Event Log as hard disk read or write errors should be logged there. |

Why would rolling back my ATI drivers work, sure it would fix this problem, but then I would have the blue screens again -.- |

| 532837 | 2007-03-17 07:34:00 | Well is there any way I could test which general area the problem is in??? and then narrow it down from there??? | Idiotica (11950) | ||
| 532838 | 2007-03-17 10:03:00 | i would fire it up and run cpuburn for about 30 minutes this should trigger any heat related lockup. If you get it to lock up, then take the side off you case and repeat the test another way of testing for p/s related lockup is to boot your machine to the bios menu and leave it running overnight. see if it still responds in the bios when you check it the next day |
