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

Here is what I noticed so far: PC & its top fan and its light turns off, but its power light stays still on. Reset button didn't work, but power button did (turned on). Tried: -after 30 minutes on C: drive only with ATI video card's fan forced at 100% speed. -after about 32 mins. after 5 am when cooler -tried without screen saver and display sleep -no crashes in quick scan I am going to try Prime95, Memtest86, etc. It might be heat related since the weather is hot. 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. -- Quote of the Week: "I don't believe in evil, I believe only in horror.
