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.


Well, the fan does still spin. Maybe it is not enough to cool it down
since my room is hot (almost 90F degrees)?


This is the cpu fan not the general case fan. You might try blowing the dust off
of it. Or google your model and cpu fan and see what turns up. Somebody else will
have had the same problem.
