I have a HP built computer with Intel Quad Core Q6600 with a few upgrades. ATI Radeon 4650, (2) 320gb hard drives, (1)500gb hard drive, windows 7 and everything else is stock.
I just started having freezing issues...only when I right click on spybot, drive c or d to look at properties. it might just be a coincidence but I thought I had a virus so I can Norton and then Spybot to check for problems. No problems.
Then, I ran mem test and it stated my memory has no problems.
Finally, after some internet searching I noticed people were having problems with overheating similar to mine. One person recommended Speedfan to evaluate. When I ran speedfan I have the core 0 at a good level (green color code). However, the other items like core 1, 2, 3 have a red flame and the temps have a red flame too. (don't know the exact figures).
But, could the video card cause the computer to overheat?
Would adding a slot fan help?
Would adding more fans help?
Please help....never had a cooling issue before...or could this be something corrupted in windows?
