OK, I'm a bit of a diddy when it comes to solving computer hardware issues. For the last week, any time I did anything processor intensive i.e. run a 3d app/game, burn a DVD etc.. my compy just shuts itself down and reboots after a couple of mins. No issues with general applications or surfing.
I got a new fan and it's working fine but the problem hasn't gone away. It's clear that the system is overheating but I'm loathe to get a new processor etc.. and go through the hastle of backing up and re-installing everything so wonder if anyone has any advise as to what may be the issue, whether they have experienced this and what best to try.
Any help or advice much appreciated .. oh and bear in mind my first scentence ;)
Cheers
Stevie
