Alright... a little news... I spoke to my brother whom I trust much more than anoyne when it comes to computers (he's only been building and programming them since the 80's lol!)

Anyway, he looked up the manual for the motherboard I have (would never have thought of that) and VERY CLEARLY... it states that the Northbridge has a tendency to overheat and will cause the system to lock up... I forget the term he gave but EXACTLY what my computer does.

It states a fan MUST be placed over it to keep it cool... So that it my duty today... to find a fan that sufficiently sucks... air off the northbridge... which may also include having to build some aparatus to hold it in place and a tube for it to suck the air off the MB with... oye!

But yea... fire hazard...eek...

So I'm going to do that today-now in fact... a LOT cheaper than getting a brand new mother board lol...
