Hi, my first time posting in the Tech section so bare with me.
someting in my comp seams to get quite hot which i think is the cause for it to crash and restart everynow and then.
using speed fan shows 2 cores (i have an AMD 64 X2 dual core 4200) so thats understandable. the first of the two usually sticks around the low 30s, whereas the second is high 40s and sometimes goes to 50 degrees. so i bought a new heat sink which doesnt seem to make a difference. but looking at speedfan configuration bit it says the first "label" core, under "chip is AMD K8, whereas the sencond core says Nvidia Video card. and its this one that gets hot. Ambient is also down as Nvidia Video card too. so im confused and not sure how to resolve my problem

thanks
