Robert wilkens said:Windows Vista has my CPU running as high as 84 degrees celsius
during normal operation (65 degrees is the 'alarm' temperature). I
imagine it gets even higher because when I do things like install MS
Office 2007 it gets to the point where the system just powers off
instantly.
I decided to try comparing it to Linux, and boy was I surprised, I
have a feature in the Linux Kernel turned on call "ACPI Thermal
Zones" which is keeping my CPU at a constant opreating temperature
of 40 degrees in Linux, if I'm reading it right.
40 degrees versus 84 degrees.
operating normally versus overheating and dying.
Try this:robw said:Tell ya what.. I'll replace the heat sink paste tomorrow and relatch the
heat sink (I believe a local store carries the paste)..
Until I do that, you can all ignore me like the idiot you think I am (I
wouldn't necessarily say you're wrong at this point either).
However, I still say "If Linux can deal with my apparently poor hardware
building skills, why not Windows?"

unfortunaely I don't. If the heat sink paste doesn't fix it, though,
that's my next step.
Robert wilkens said:Incredible, I come to a Vista Operating System support group, tell
them, honestly, in Linux it "stays cool" (a.k.a. "doesnt' do
anything", apparently even when building a kernel, which without
thermal zones was enough to crash Linux exactly like Windows crashes
when it oveheats), and they tell me it's the hardware.
Right now, this a.m. windows is idling at 53 degrees, but as soon as
I start typing it shoots up over 65, then calms back down _quickly_
to 53-54 degrees.
