Re: [PLUG] Computer Problems

To Solve the heat problem(s): I installed another case fan. The BIOS' "Pc
Health" says my CPU's temperature is 116f, and system temperature is 95f
(this was when I just left the system running for 2 days straight, with
the blue bios screen on display). I am going to try Guillermo Moyna's idea
of the floppy drive. I may of installed messed up on the floppy drive
install. I will just take out the floppy drive and try out the system. How
can I know if the HD is overheating, are there any symptoms? I don't think
my system gets sluggish or anything. How can I upgrade my BIOS? Other then
upgrading my Mainboard, are there any other suggestions?


Thanks
Naresh
