Really frustrated about program not responding.

[alyoob]

I have this problem when i run microsoft word my computer will not respond and i have to end task the program. My computer will eventually heat up until i end task word. I scanned my computer with numerous av program and other programs for trojans etc. I also did a reinstall of my os. I opened my computer recently and add new thermal paste to my heat sink ever since i did so my computer is responding ok not heating up until i open microsoft word. There seems to be a problem with word. also opening folders with to many pictures or files in them will also cause my comnputer to heat up and not respond. I did a clean install of my os and word.

My computer specifics are:

Amd athlon 64 processor 2.41 ghz 1.87 gb of ram windows xp home

Weird problem that it seems to react that way to one program. If you want to try something different to see if it changes your heat issue. Here is a link to alternative free replacements for microsoft Office Suite.

I also stated above truenorth that when I open folders with lots of pictures my computer would heat up not only with word.

Yes i did see that. However as your main concern (other than the heat issue of course) seemed to be it's relationship to using "word". So i thought that you might want to see if an alternative to it might lessen your issue. The picture association can probably also be handled differently than you are at the present time. I tend to suspect that your issue is likely to be related to some internal hardware (fans for instance).truenorth
