| 388007 | 2005-09-13 03:37:00 | This afternoon I have a 25 degree temp in the air surrounding my computer. Playing with MS Flight Sim. I am getting pauses "for reloading" every two or three minutes. At other times scenery is losing it's colour and detail. After closing down game and finding my probe details I have a CPU temp of 54. a motherboard of 48, and a temp of 44 in Hard disk. I realise this is getting a bit warm but it should be OK. Well within limits. After leaving comp idleing for ten minutes while I got myself a drink the temps have settled at 44, 38 and 31. I have another case fan that is not monitored. I realize these temps are probably not completely accurate, but they are an indication. Does my game problem sound like an overheating problem? |

| 388009 | 2005-09-13 03:57:00 | The program has a partition all to itself and "defrag" won't even try and defrag the drive. | JJJJJ (528) | ||
| 388010 | 2005-09-13 06:09:00 | No. Sounds like a disk acessing issue. Kill off background apps, and do a defragg. I agree, sounds like disk pages or fragmentation. MS flight sim runs crappy on less than a gig of ram. On a gig it runs well on my PC. |

| 388012 | 2005-09-13 06:52:00 | 25 degrees? "Heat"? About time you got an air conditioner, anyway, and made your contribution to using up the extra cheap electricity made available by the miracle of the market. | Graham L (2) | ||

| 388014 | 2005-09-13 12:07:00 | 1.How many case fans do you have and which way are they blowing? 2.Are the case fans blocked by anything? 3.Is your case cabling tidy and out of the way of the air flow? 4.Is your case dusty inside? 5.What graphic card have you got? 6.What cpu do you have? (put a better cpu hsf on, 92mm/120mm cpu heat sink fan (Zalman,Thermalright etc..),put a better vga cooler on (Zalman,etc..),have 120mm case fans if your case will fit them). :thumbs: :2cents: |

| 388015 | 2005-09-13 22:02:00 | Take the side off the case and get an ordinary household fan and blow into it and see what that dose. Trevor :) |
