I
suggest starting all troubleshooting with the following
diagnostic
tests (also located at this link: http://www.carrona.org/initdiag.html ). They'll save you a lot of time and heartache if there
is a
hardware failure, and you'll have the disks on hand in case you need
them in the future:
H/W
Diagnostics:
Please start by running these bootable hardware
diagnostics:
http://www.carrona.org/memdiag.html
(read the details at the link)
http://www.carrona.org/hddiag.html
(read the details at the link) - Test ALL
of the hard drives.
Also,
please run one of these free, independent online malware scans to
ensure that your current protection hasn't been compromised:
http://www.carrona.org/malware.html
(read the details at the link)
There are also free, bootable antivirus disks at this link: http://www.carrona.org/malware.html#rescue
If all diagnostics pass and if you need more (free) diagnostics, try those here: http://www.carrona.org/addldiag.html
If
you've just run these at the start of your topic on the forums -
there's no need to move on (unless a hardware problem is suspected).

I suggest using a temperature monitoring program (works in Windows). I picked this free
one because it was the first one I found that also shows GPU temps: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
