What is the room temperature that the PC is in? If it's warm in that room, more than likely your PC is getting too hot. I have a machine with the AthlonXP 2200+ TBred in it and that processor runs warm constantly. Make sure you have enough airflow in your case to get that hot air out... and make sure that the location that your have the case is not recycling the same hot air over and over again. Where are your fans located in the case? 1 front 1 back? Is fron intake or exhaust?

You may want to look at getting another case fan in to help remove excess warm air. Also make sure that you do not have a lot of dust build-up in your case as a lot of dust can cause excess unwanted heat. Make sure that your fan on your heat sink is spinning at a normal speed instead of slower. Also make sure that the fins in your heatsink are not clogged with dust. Make sure your cable routing is not blocking vital airflow to anything, so re-routing cables can help if they are "hanging" all over the place.

I found the the problem. it was recyclying the same air. I got another case cover and the temp seems to have gone down. Basically with this case cover the room air goes directly to the cpu fan. ill bring mhz back to 1800 and see if itll work. right now the temp is down to 40c idle which is great.
thanx for your help.

Hopefully that's all it was.... Almost too simple

Glad I could help out anyway.

Is that tool bar ok to use ?
Will it not slow down my computer?

It uses some system resources but very very minimal... with your system, you won't even notice it's there as far as system performance goes..
