Ok, so I just downloaded Speedfan on my little brothers PC. because it was getting SUPER HOT! I mean it was getting so hot that when I touched the power supply it literally BURNT my fingers, then to my surprise when I went to pick it up the side panel was just as hot. So I took it apart to let it cool off a bit, then I did an all out cleaning on it. I took the processor fan and exhaust fan out cleaned them both, I mean it looks brand new inside and out. I have never seen a PC get this hot, you can feel the hot air come out when I took the sides off. So after it cooled off and it was clean I hooked it back up and ran speedfan and this is what I got for readings:

You can set a certain temp that will give you a warning like that. U can adjust it though.

You could try cleaning the inside of you're PC out of it's dirty, or add a few more case fans. Or replace the ones you have now with more powerful ones. BTW: What size monitor do you have?

17" Flat panel, I'm thinking cutting a whole on the side of the PC and putting a huge exhaust fan there. I cleaned out everything on here inside and out, and I must say it was pretty dusty, I wish there was a way to keep clean, but I don't think there is |
