Windows Vista blue screening problem

[Broni]

Your processor max temp is listed as 61.4° C, so I think, I was right, when I didn't like those mid 40s while idle.
BTW, what is the room temp around your place? Is it hot weather?

[overmind]

no idea about the room temp = but at the moment is is not that hot round here - it can get very hot during a sunny day, but no weather like that for at least a week if not more (posting from UK - Suffolk area - that lump on the east side )

[Broni]

OK. So let's say, room temp is about average.
My dual core AMD (which is usually little bit hotter, than Intel) with several programs running, and an average room temperature, is listed at 23C, right now.
Start with cleaning inside, and we'll see from there.

Dedusted - though not as much as I would like, I lack a really good point to get into all the tiny gaps - will try to get hold of one. It was also far more dusty in there than I have had before - either its this computer or the fact that my room is far more stuffed with stuff leading to a larger ambiant dust buildup. Ran the computer with the side off and all fans are turning.

temps whilst idle:

system   34C
CPU        29C
AUX        127C
HD0        30C
Core 0    36C
core 1     39C

Some reduction so I think dust is certainly a contributing factor - though with still high temps.

Temps went down little bit.
Now, try to run IE again, and see what happens.
No error with Opera?

[overmind]

no error with opera - though it is erractic - heat buildup though could be the cause as the computer will run fine for a good while (hours) and then hit a patch of blue screens.
Running IE7 now - will see what happens

[Broni]

If the error occurs again, turn computer off, get a house fan, point it toward open case.
Turn computer on, and try IE again.

[overmind]

will do
thanks!

[Broni]

I'll be here.

And so will I.

appoligies for not comming back sooner to reply (lost the link to this place!)
In the end I think this problem is somehow linked to an update from Mircrosoft - I have heard of one or two others who had similar bluescreening problems and then the problem "just went away" or got updated and fixed - I think its also a limited area problem hence why its not more well known about the place - possibly a software and/or hardware configuration

Congrats on getting it working.

So exactly what did you do?

[overmind]

just kept updating windows as normal. I can't even be sure which or when the update fixed the problem.

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

As long as it's working.
