    How old is your system?

    2-3 years I would say. The temperature problems usually occur every 7-8 months, they are all caused by dust but this one.

    I just re-read your posts and noticed you mentioned you run the system with the chassis open because you have had temp problems in the past.

    The problem here is your cooling system in really inadequate. Add the system fan as I suggested earlier and that should help solve your problem.

    Now that I think it over, it's not unlike the problem my step-father had with his computer. As time goes on, all the programs get larger, more process intensive. That works the processor harder, generates more heat. You start experiencing overheating if your cooling system is not adequate. we added a system fan to his and it really worked!
