1) PC Starting To Reboot/Lockup
Mr. French inquired - I've had no problems with my PC until now. Sometimes it just reboots or locks up when my playing my favorite games or other intensive applications. Any reason for this as I haven't installed any new software for months.
*** I see this type of question often when Summer starts or in the Winter when a PC is on the floor next to a baseboard heater. When was the last time you actually took off the cover of your computer case and blew out the cpu _and_ cpu fansink with "compressed air" and made sure your case fans were clean and still working?
Note that CPU fans dont last forever and often really slow down with time. The same goes for case fans, even if they are cleaned. The heatsink on your CPU fan can really accumulate lots of dust as well, thus making your CPU run too hot for intensive applications.
