1.	Solve : Problems, Episode II: Attack of the Crash?
Answer» Yes, SpeedFan does have a panel that can be used for overclocking on some systems but that can simply be ignored. The initial screen that appears when SpeedFan is opened shows the temperature info along with fan speeds and voltage readings. And, that screen is really all many users may need or be interested in. In that case, I don't see much learning curve; just install it and open it to view the default screen. Again, I agree that PC WIZARD looks like a very nice program, based on the extensive information on the website. My point was that, if he mainly wants to monitor temperature, an extensive system reporting tool like PC WIZARD does much more than that and may be more than he wants. I have Everest Home Edition installed and it tells me the same info that SpeedFan tells me. But, it does not display a temperature value in the system tray and allow for easy temperature monitoring that way. My system tray shows this: If I double click on the temp to open SpeedFan, I see: So, it's a quick and easy way to get temperature info.I think we have Hijacked this post soybean I know and you know they don't need to do anything else with the SpeedFan But... we all know how curious we all are and especially less experienced users they tend to play with things, so I try to make it a simple as can be. Like (no offense to less experienced users by any means) I am talking with my Grandmother or 7 year old son who one day SOON is going to be telling me how to do things I think SpeedFan is a cool program and if I needed to monitor my system I would probably go that route, it is a nice program with some really nice features I would have used in the days I was OCing my PIII 700 to 933 But these days I don't play around with my machines because they have more power than I need except when I am processing video,.

Alright, I'll try this Sunday when I go over to my friend's again. Thanks for the heads-up TrapperX/CBMatt (on Closefrnd). Now, haha, I have another problem (and I'll edit the first post with it since the first post's problem is solved now): My girlfriend's computer will seemingly crash and forces itself to shut down or something of that nature. It'll happen randomly and without warning. She's given me specs before, but I'm aware that it's an alright computer and that she's got protection (exactly what escapes me, but I believe Spybot is one of them) In her own words what keeps happening tonight: (her SN) (12:53:39 AM): it seems as the computer completely restarts it slef, like it shuts off then trys to turn back on. (her SN) (12:53:52 AM): but if i am not siging of AIM then that cant be the case. She also noted that: well, okay, even though my computer is shutting off. AIM for some reason isnt logging me off, the minute my computer rebots it self.it took like 5minutes or so why? is my computer not completey shutting off, is it more hibernating? see i am not sure. Gr. :/ What I thought, was maybe some important process is being interrupted, or fails in some way, causing most of her computer to shut down, but not-as important programs running (like AIM or an internet browser) continue to run until the rest of the computer shuts down. However, I'm not really computer-savvy. I know a little here and there, but nothing on a subject as this. Any help? I'll have a lot more information if she can sign on soon, such as computer specs, protection she's got, etc. Yet again, thank you very much Imperial, I'm very glad we were able to help you out with resolving your problem. For this new problem, I would suggest starting a new topic. I think it would have a better chance of being looked at that way. Someone might see the number of posts on here and assume you're getting ample help even though this is a new problem. I could be wrong, of course, but I think some of our busier members might have that sort of attitude. Also...editing your ORIGINAL post makes things a bit confusing. I only looked at your post because I saw that I had posted in it (with the new title, I didn't recognize the topic). And until I read a couple of responses, I was completely confused. I'm sure everyone will be happy to help, but I think it would be in your best interest to start a new topic. And please get as much information from your girlfriend as possible to help things go smoothly. Specs and protection are a must, of course, as I'm sure you know. And find out if her computer actually loses power when this happens. Does it shut off? When it starts back up, are her programs still running? That's the impression I'm getting here.Haha, alright I'll just lock this then and restart.

I can tell you he is hosting illegal key makers for Microsoft software so I would suggest to stay away and for a Forum moderator look over the site to see if it is appropriate to be here.
