I take it that you have had water cooling on this machine?
Can you locate the fan which cools the radiator? it may have seized or have some other sort of problem.
Also sounds like the O/S has been corrupted for some reason.
How long have you had the system? does it need a good cleanout inside (dust etc)Don't try to teach a pig to sing - it wastes your time and annoys the pig0 -
Yes I have water cooling on the machone, the fan which cools the radiator is fine, its an external water cooler the Reserator XT and thats fine, the pc is lovley and clean inside, its my baby just for some reason os has gone, do you think it could possibly be hard drive failure.0
