Is there any way to test to see if your computer is running hot.

I mean just a simple test or something in Xp what will tell me.

Thanks

A P4 will automatically throttle down if it reaches a certain "trigger temp". If the temp continues to rise, it will reach a 2nd trigger temp & the CPU will shutdown completely. Try running "ThrottleWatch"
