Hello doncarriere;

How will anyone from Joburg know to look in on this topic?

The contributors (posters) here are from all parts of the world, very talented, and very helpful.

List out details as to what is happening, at what point in the start-up sequence, or whether it happens while running, what programs are affected; as much information as you can.

Install 'RealTemp' and check temps. This info will be useful.

OK will do, but where do I get RealTemp? Is this a CPU monitoring app?

Dude, I'm in South Africa (Pretoria) but I'm not going to work on your machine. I work on my own and some friends' machines, but I'm not comfortable to do hands-on work on strangers' machines as of yet...

Please, post some issues and what you need to be done, and maybe someone can give you some good advice here!

First of all, what's the problem with your PC? Does it overheat? Won't it turn on? Does it shut down suddenly? Is it slow?

Info, info man, we cannot help without info...
