Howdy,
Here is the problem. After running games like Quake3, Everquest, etc... My system locks up. Its wierd cause its only happening after i leave the game, i can play for quite a while and no problems... just after i exit. After hitting the reset button, or power button, the computer does not boot up, just kinda hangs with a black screen. If i leave it off for a few mins, no problem. I recently moved and ive only started getting the problems since the move. I have a feeling its a heat issue, and if so, how do I figgure out which device is overheating and what to do about it. Thanks in advance.
