hi! i m hvng major prblm. CPU temperature goes to 67 C .RAM also gets extremely heat. Resulting frequent restarts and hang to system.
Try cleaning the heatsink & fan of accumulated dust. You may have to remove the heatsink to thoroughly clean it, then apply a fresh layer of thermal paste.
How do you know your RAM is overheating? by touch? You definitely could use some more RAM. 128MB just ain't enough for XP.
