Watching a video in summer is computer suicide and ALL games cause bsods (time varies on room temp etc) as well (even low graphics browser based games)
The interesting thing is that I checked the CPU temp after using the comp for less than 5 mins (restarted and used BIOS) and the temp was more than 60 degrees Celsius.. That seems insanely high to me
On a side note, there's 1GB of RAM, but windows task manager and dxdiag only display 512 MB
system is:
AMD Athlon 2100+ ~1.7Ghz
Asus A7N8X-E
1 GB RAM (system displays 512 MB)
Asus A9550 (ATI)
Windows XP Pro SP1
(This is my dad's oldish comp, so blowing the whole thing up to find out the problem is a no-no )
Any ideas?
