This computer was put together back in 2005. Went into storage for 15 months and I am trying to get it up and running.
MSI K8N neo4 platinum
Athlon 64 4000 (single core)
Geforce 6600.
1 80 gig and 1 250 gig hard drive.
Anyway, it worked fine when I had it. I plugged it up and immediately reformatted it. Installed Win7 32. I did the updates, set up the network, plugged in some external hard drives and started streaming for my HTPC, and left it alone. Went to check it out after not touching it for a couple days, and had a blue screen. I have a lot of trouble getting windows started. Takes a couple boots. Bios shows 71c temp, and by the time I got Speedfan downloaded and installed, it showed my core was at 91.
The question is, Should I take the computer apart, clean it, and reapply thermal compound?
Also, the computer is not recognizing the 2nd hard drive or a USB extension panel thing that plugs into the motherboard to add more USB ports. Whats up with that?

In 7 or even in the BIOS?
 
Have you checked for dust buildup in the computer? Are all your fans still spinning?

Probably be a good idea to take some compressed air to it.
 
Try assigning a letter to the drive via 'Disk Management'.

^^ like he said.. also make sure that the heatsink didnt come loose or anything.. 91C is still hard to believe since the max temp on that processor is around 70C.. so it should of shut down automatically..

also you might want to clear the cmos incase you had an overclock or something setup before you took the system offline.. most likely it reset on its own anyways since the battery would of been dead a long time before you pulled it back out..

I'm pretty sure they can if they want to. I've seen in some threads "Removed. Reason: Spamming to 50" or something like that.
