First off I am running a P4 3ghz cpu on an intel 865grh mobo with stock HSF. This is the bundle from intel last year. It was running just fine until about a month ago when I switched my OS from win xp with SP1 to win xp with S2. Before I never had a problem with any overheating. I ws able to do 3 or 4 thing at a time includings encoding a dvd with dvdshrink. Now when ever I try to run dvdshrink even by itself my pc shuts off as says it was overheating. Now I have been running a cpu temp monitor and the temp is around 130F when the pc shuts off. I read that the cpu can easly handle over 150F.
Now my question is.
1)Is there a new setting included in SP2 that auto shuts off your PC at a certain temp?
2)Is there a conflict between dvdshrink and SP2?
3)Should I try a different cpu cooler?
4)Should I RMA the cpu and mobo to see if that is thge problem?
