Actually, my laptop has been elevated for awhile now.. I thought of that first thing, because of the crappy design, there really isn't any air going into the compy.
The blue screen reboot has just started recently.. I was reading some other forums, and maybe some of it is due to the thermal paste drying out
I am going to take the comp apart again and see if any dust is clogging up anything. Right now the temp is at 167 degs F.. and that seems QUITE hot to me. CPU is at 7%..
Humm underclocking the graphics card.. didn't think about that. I could give that a try. I am not sure how to do that though. I never really messed with that kind of thing.. something else to research.
I could always try to play my computer inside a walk in freezer..
The fans are working, I can hear both spinning. The heat prob was there even with a regular VGA driver.
Anyway thank you for the help!!! I will try just about anything at this point. I don't think re installing XP will help this prob since its more of a hardware prob.
Once I get back from iraq, i am buying a NON Alienware computer. By then Silent hunter 5 may be in the works hehe..
