I take the time every 6 months or so to hunt down the dust bunnies in my machine. Not only does this keep everything running as it should (temp wise) it also gives you chance to assess your computer and rectify those little jobs you perhaps put off previously..

Ok, I'm not so sure if this is a Windows 7 related issue, but thought I'd post to see what people think anyway. Couldn't find any good answers out there anyway.
My CPU now sits around 50-53 degrees Celcius on startup. Heck I caught it at 70C so I dusted it like mad. Last time I checked which...

A growing number of users on Web message boards have been complaining about “inexplicably aggressive†throttling policies on Dell Latitude E6500 and E6400 laptops.
According to a Slashdot reader, the throttling is restricting CPUs to less than 5 percent of theoretical...

Okay, so I have gathered a rough temperature and I have found that my PC's BIOS is kicking in and instantly shutting down the machine once it's temperature (the CPUS's) reaches in excess of 50 degrees celcuis. Now obviously this is nothing compared to what it should be set to, like... 70...

Windows 7 runs about 10-15 degrees C hotter than XP. I have a M2A-VM ASUS motherboard. When I ran Win 7 RC for quite a while it seemed cooler. It has quite and cool AMD technology!
After researching cool and quiet AMD tech., turning the power options to the lowest power level is better but not...
So yesterday i was running xp just fine. Installed win 7 last night, and installed WoW and CS:S after that. Updated all the drivers for nvidia and tried to run my games and this photo is a screen shot of how both games look after about 10 seconds of playing. Ive exhausted all my options except...

Hey guys,
My Pc is driving me nuts lately.. what keeps happening is my pc will randomly shutdown after no specific time interval and on occasion shows a blue screen just before powers out. The blue screen doesn't stay on for long so is very hard to read.
Thanks alot guys, ps anymore specs you...
This may be off topic from vista but I was just wandering. What temps should I look at? Rite now core0 is at 53C and core1 is at 55C. My office has no cooling or insulation so it can get hot in here. The other day the temps hit 62C and my fans fired up for the first time in the 2 years sence I...

My CPU fan is constantly working extra hard. I observed the CPU usage in System Monitor and if I'm completely idle it's around 0-5% but the moment I start to do something it jumps to the 20-30% range and frequently peaks to higher percentages.

Hello everyone,
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, build 7048, and I'm having random freezes. The system just locks up randomly. It could be after 5 minutes, but it could also be after 5 hours. I have no idea what's causing it.
Specs are:
AMD Phenom 9650 x4

Theme that changes w/ the weather gadget in Windows 7 based on the temperatures shown?
Anyone ever heard/seen anything like this?
I thought it would be a pretty cool gadget and my wife wanted it.
Just curious.
Thanks.
I bought some new thermal 'goo' recently by OCZ. This was primarily for my chip upgrade but this afternoon I stripped the motherboard down and applied the thermal grease where-ever it was needed like northbridge, southbridge and graphics card. In some cases it's dropped temperature by 5c!

Hey check out the new calculator. It has numerous options that include calculating a mortgage, gas mileage, in the options section.
It'll also do weight conversions, temperature conversions, etc...
Check it out, it's sweet !!
