  • Is this a good temperature for my CPU?

    I have my AMD phenom II X4 955 3.82 GHz (Overclocked) Running at 59C idle (I have the Fan at 10% Tickover), I have set the fan to go up to 60% at 61C Is it ok to run it at that temperature? As it normally runs at about 60% Fan and it's really noisy.

  • Help! I just got BSOD?

    I was playing Runescape, as normal. The game freezes and the sound is on a very quick loop, I think my computers on strike again, So I wait 5 seconds, then Bam the blue screen pops up, It said Kernal Paging error or something like that. In a panic, I forgot to read what it said and held down the Power off button as hard as I could.

    I'm very worried now, Will this happen again? What is wrong with it? Is there any fix? Should I have not held down the Power Button?

    My computer spec's are

    Acer Aspire 5734z

    Intel pentium T4500 2.30GHz dual core.

    4GB of RAM

    Intel Mobile Series Express Chipset Family

    Windows 7 64-BIT

    Sorry if I seem nervous and out of text btw, It's really worrying me.

  • McAfee site-advisor problem?

    My computer came with SiteAdvisor when I bought the computer and I liked it. So I bought the Total Protection package. Which came with SiteAdvisor. Now, Before when searching on Google, Everything had a Tick next to it if it was safe and an X if it wasn't, However when I now search on Google, I no longer have it. I still have the little McAfee logo in the corner that changes colour depending on if it's a safe site or not but I like to know if it's risky or not before I go to it. How do I reactivate the Ticks and X's on the search?

    My son is a Runescape fan, and has been playing the game on High Detail for ages. For some reason today it has stopped working. When he tries to log into his account is says that he needs to install Java. When you go to the download page for Java it will not allow him to install it. We have tried changing the security options but it will still not allow him to install Java. When you look at programmes it shows that Java is already there. We have tried a system restore at several different points but the restore fails (there's an error with the restore process rather than it fails to rectify the problem. Advice appreciated.
