      Maybe it had a trojan installed on it and some fuckhead has a mirror of your whole harddrive somewhere.
      SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                      Use at least a few parts if you build a new machine. It is good luck to keep her around ;)

                            I am running on a desktop that I bought about 4 years ago. Had to replace the fan, the powersupply, and the box. It is old, and somewhat slow, but it gets the job done.

                                Awesome, what program? how much is it? I have two computers, one new and I just want to copy all the stuff over and don't know how.

                                          have you re-applied any heat sink compound ? the stuff that was on there has probably dried up , if you have that sticker stuff that hsf's come with , rip it off , use some alcohol to get rid of the crap that gets left behind and apply some heat sink compound like artic silver

                                            a pc doesn't slowly die , it either dies or keeps going , the only thing on a computer that will slowly die is a hard drive due to the moving parts , cpu,ram,motherboard are all electrical so as i said if it was going to die you'd wake up one morning it wont switch on , there will be signs of it being on its death bed

                                            you'll know if its the hard drive karking it as it would be making clunking noises

                                              I just installed the third power supply on my old Athlon 900 box that I built 4+ years ago. After numerous upgrades/ component changes, that old Thunderbird is still chugging along.

                                              The box runs my bedroom TV/surround sound.. runs 24 hrs a day.

                                                  have you re-applied any heat sink compound ? the stuff that was on there has probably dried up , if you have that sticker stuff that hsf's come with , rip it off , use some alcohol to get rid of the crap that gets left behind and apply some heat sink compound like artic silver
                                                  Yeah thats why I took off my thermaltake CPU fan and swaped it with the OEM brandnew I am gonna pickup some grease.. I had it over clocked a little bit hardly anything at all (all bios) Now I set everything way back and I am still getting 67's C -73'C

                                                              The CPU temp is running at 80-82'c 177-179'sF 181'F

                                                              The pc keeps locking up I swaped the PC fans from the thermalTake to the OEM model didn't help. Time to backup files =)

                                                              How's your cpu resrources? Is somehting running it into high usage? Constant usage can cause insane temps on that chip.

                                                                      if you were desperate enough you could even use toothpaste to fill the gaps between the heatsink and chip ( just means that you would have to reapply quite frequently )
