re: Question about 'Top reasons for random, fatal crashes in Windows XP and Windows 2000' Thursday, June 12, 2008 at 5:17 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Spexx (2229 messages posted) Yes. Overheating is becoming more of a problem than it used to be. Modern CPUs, motherboard chipsets and Video cards can get frighteningly hot, especially if their cooling fans are not working properly. Overheating can cause all sorts of strange faults to appear, as well as shortening the life of the machine in general.
