[QUOTE="Ed Fenwick, post: 1043085, member: 67359"] blert, thanks, sorry, it is a heat sink paste nor dielectric. The heatsink and the CPU will only plug in one way on this. Idle CPU temp is 129. I removed the side cover and put a home fan blowing into the computer. No change in temperature. I don't know about overclocking but I reset the computer back to when it was running well, no change. I don't know how to mess with the BIOS. Today I ran Recuva, the CPU started at 129f and went to 140f. The mainboard started at 132and went up to 194 in about a minute or so. then went down to 141. Recuva stopped running and there was a message that the performance monitor had stopped working. I tried to close everything but it was frozen. I had to pull the plug! Now with nothing running but the Sporttrack site, the fans are running faster! Is there maybe a problem with the performance monitor? Should I replace that and how to do it? Thanks God bless Ed [/QUOTE]
