re: XP hard resets Monday, February 3, 2003 at 9:35 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by cipaeter (3 messages posted) Actually, scratch that. Now I've taken off the heatsink and cleaned it as well as cleaned off all the old thermal compound on the cpu and put new thermal compound on it so there is solid contact. I no longer have the hard resets, however now I have consistent crashing of most programs. Where I used to rarely have any crashes, most programs crash at least on exit. Perhaps it is a power consumption problem and the cpu wasn't getting enough juice, and now has enough to continue running but not to run programs stable? What would I go about doing to find this bottleneck, if it exists, and kill it? On Monday, February 3, 2003 at 6:27 am, chip wrote: >Could be the PS.
