I built this PC a while ago...but I chose the wrong case for this CPU - it runs TOO hot. I have one side of the computer completely open and exposed to the air and it runs at 40C idle and around 50C running games or intensive applications. With the case closed, all temps jump about 15C to 25C. This is dangerous, no? Also, as the computer heats up - the fan speeds up and gets VERY loud. Any thoughts on a cheap way I could fix these annoying problems?

I know that a single rap.x will dish out 1.5gb/sec and if im playing a game it will do that. However if i get to rap.x's and make one master and one slave can i make the computer technically recognize them as just one 300gb and load games with 3gb/sec???

This even happens as I type on it. It is sometimes difficult to get the display (monitor) to come back on.

And no. It is not the screensave that is activated...lol

Help!

We have a laptop & desktop. We bought a DSL router to connect them to the net at the same time. It keeps messing up. It'll stay connected for a few minutes, then boot both computers off the internet. The LED lights still say that the internet is on, but my pcs aren't getting a signal most of the time. We're using a regular router (not wireless) Does anyone know what the problem is?

My new ATI video card seems to be working strangely. When I play The Sims 2, on one occasion, my video card will not respond (or deadlock) and prompts me to restart the computer. But, when I saw my desktop (after The Sims 2 was closed) the graphics and resolution was still the same.

Occasionally, the computer shuts down without prompt and permission when I play The Sims 2.

Could it have been too high graphical settings of The Sims 2? Or a hardware failure? Please help me resolve this problem, it bites back my The Sims 2 Movie Making business.

Thank you.

If anything says "right-click and save as" or something like that, it doesn't do it, because I don't know how to right-click on a Mac, because it just has 1 button, and I tried clicking the mouse, and doing an apple-S (save) and that doesn't work either. Please help! I plan on downloading something important--and in order to do so, I have to learn to right-click and left-click. I can't do any of that yet.

My computer(prob. my CD burner) is making a funny rattling sound, it's not really loud and it's not constant, but I was wondering if something was wrong with it? It still seems to work just fine.
