OKAY.
Here's how it stands.
While I do believe overheating is a huge problem with this compy (even a fan override cranking the in-case fan to max speed and a cooling pad beneath, the CPU never drops below roughly 37 degrees Celsius - that's 99 or so in Farenheit, and before the fan-override the heat can spike to the low-mid 70s - that's about 160 Farenheit) I am unsure if it is the ONLY problem.
See, computers operating at 40-50 degrees Celsius is, apparently, still technically in the "safe" zone. Yet I'm still getting intermittent lockups. Not every five minutes like what happened around 8 PM last night, but on average about once every two hours or so.
I've run Memtest86, so I know the memory is checking out OK... any other ideas as to potential problems?
