It seems like your P4 is running about as cool as anyones. What type of heatsink/fan are you using?

That makes sense, at least in my case, as my Matrox card has no fan. How can you determine for sure which component temps are which?

I did install Speedfan after this post, and it appears to be showing the cpu temp accurately, as all values are bouncing around a bit. I'm not positive which value is the cpu core, but I assume it is the hottest temp among the bunch. As to AVG pegging the usage to 100%, that's just when I do...

Just a constant 60 degrees C. Of course, I could start up the machine from a cold state and see what kind of reading I get, but won't do that until the markets close. Based on posts of people with similar chips, this program should keep me posted of any changes in the temp. But you may be...

Just installed PC Wizard, to check the temp of my Pentium 4 (521, 2.8 MHz). It reads 60 C at 5% usage, and didn't bump up even a degree when running AVG, which pretty much keeps usage pegged at 100%. Shouldn't the 100% usage have raised the temp some, or is there more to putting the cpu under...

I'm unable to successfully install the two latest high priority updates on my Windows XP PRO laptop. The updates show having been successfully installed, but do not show up in add/remove programs, and come up again when checking for updates. The updates are 1) .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and...

The old page isn't available anymore. The m. redirect was for the new page before it became permanent. Going back to yahoo.com at that time brought up the older design. For some reason I am still being redirected, and there are virtually no posts on this subject since the new page became...

Thanks, but I tried removing all cookies. Also tried clearing the offline storage cache, but it wasn't where it was supposed to be(XP PRO). I also flushed the DNS, which someone suggested, but this didn't work either.

I'm still getting redirected to www.m.yahoo.com. I haven't found a singe post anywhere on anyone still dealing with this m. redirect since the newly designed web page became the only option. Does anyone know how to elimnate this m. from the address? It happens both with IE8 and Chrome. Thanks.

Just wondering what could account for the YM climbing another 40 points or so after the NYSE closed today at 4:00PM. Short covering is the only thing I could think of. Any other possible explanation? Thanks.

It's about 2 years old, a Western Digital Sata.

It seems a little sluggish lately, and not quite right, even though, as I mentioned, it is a recent OS reinstall. The reason I'm running it repeatedly is I read that if you get a report of one or more errors being detected and fixed, you should keep running it until it comes up clean. This...

I've run chkdsk /r many times recently from a bootable recovery console disk. Errors are consistently found and corrected. My understanding is that these errors often spell doom for the hard drive. I've run WD's diagnostic several times and the hard drive checks out okay. This is a pretty...

No, unfortunately there were no backups made since my last reinstall.

These problems seem to have been caused by my shutting it down in the middle of running chkdsk(I found out that after recent SP3 updates chkdsk now sometimes runs with the screen blank), so I don't think the hard drive is the problem(although it could be, I suppose). Everything is working...

My XP Pro system refused to start after I shut it down in the middle of what I thought was a failed attempt to run dskchk(black screen, no hard drive activity). It would not start up under any circumstances, including last known configuration and safe mode. I was able to get everything working...

I want to create a stop with a minimum volume of contracts traded condition - e.g., enter a long position with a stop of -5 points, to be executed only when 50 contracts have traded at or below the stop price. This is similar to NinjaTrader's simulated stop, but that stop counts only orders...

Getting persistent crashes of NT, but only when a futures contract is shown in time and sales of MBT's navigator. When NT and Navigator are open but no quote is entered into the Navigator NT does not crash. The following have been done: Reinstalled .NET Framework 2.0. Reinstalled NT...

Sounds good, thanks.

Any recommendations for or against installing Service Pack 3 on my XP Pro based PC? It sounds pretty risky based on Microsoft's warnings. Best to wait another month or two? Thanks.
