PC trouble time again

[Angrist]

My PC suffers from fallouts. I think it has something to do with the temperature, because it usually happens on a hot day and/or when I have my PC on for a long while. I'm trying to find a program that shows the CPU temperature so I can be sure.

Sometimes my PC just stops. It's probably no direct software problem, because it's like the power is just cut. The weird thing is that the LED light keeps burning when it falls out. The only way to get my PC working again is to cut the power totally, wait till the LED stops burning and then I can boot it up again. When I do this too soon, it usually falls out again. So that's why my guess is temperature.

Some say it's the motherboard that's causing the problems. Apparently it happens to more motherboards of this type. Some say the battery might be old.

Any ideas??! Thanks!


Anóther problem I have: sometimes my internet suddenly stops. It happens all of a sudden, nothing works anymore. When I try to reconnect DC++, it says my 22883 port is used by another program. Who knows what this could be? It sounds like a program causing it. Another option is something a friend told me, he lives in a building close to mine, same housing organization. He had a similar problem and it was caused by some of his neighbours assigning new IP-adresses or something. Basically they were trying to put 2 computers on 1 connection and that caused other PCs' internet to stop.


At the moment I'm scanning my PC for viruses and malware.
