Here in Madrid we have now temperatures rising above 40șC and the bleuscreens are
popping up each 2 minutes. I had red something about RAM getting hot earlier but
rejected it because after having installed 2 new ramstick everything was alright...
till recently. Defenitly temperature. Even my portable went out at these temperatures
till I put 2 pencils beneath it widdening the space between it and the desktop. I
will look for these RAMcoolingdevices in the shop tomorrow. Let's see if it works.
Does anyone nows something about grounding? We have bad or no grounding in our house.
Could it be the cause? The PC is connected trough a UPS.
Regards,
Wim
