Default Is anyone else getting hard computer lock ups with this month's MRT.exe's full scans?

Yep, it is heat related since I left the left side case open and ran 7.5
hours of MRT.exe full scan. And then, I tried Prime95's mixed tests and
that only lasted aboug 5 minutes.


Almost certainly the CPU fan, which gives a hard shutdown without warning.

Google for replacing the cpu fan on whatever machine you have, to get a clue what to
order. CPU fans tend to come from China and turn up in the mail in a few weeks.
