Looks to me a over-heating problem. You need a software to monitor the
CPU temperature. Install SpeedFan, get it from :
http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php
And monitor the Temperature & post the results here. Beware that too much
over-heating will fry your mobo. So if you notice these symptoms, turn-off your
PC immediately.

the readings are as fllows ....from speed fan..
temp 1= 37
temp. 2 =36
HD 0= 36
TEMP 1.=30 ...ALL THE TEMP.s have a down pointing blue arrow...
found ACPI temp .30...

are they all ok ??i think ..this is possible..due to some overclocking done to my agp card (mx 4000)...by some registry edit called "coolbits" but in the properties i saw overclocking is disabled !!
if i format my hard drive (any ways its empty )and do a clean install ..will the overclock and other settings be restored to original or not ???
i am ready for a clean install..but will this solve the problem means are all the settings restored back to normal ??

will someone answer my question please ?????

well....the prob seems to be that.....some application is increasing the size of all caption buttons.......go to settings and set the caption buttons to 25and re-boot ur computer.....also try uninstalling all theme(s) softwares like AlienUG etc..

Looks like the themes you have used is the culprit. Change to Windows XP theme.
I think everything will be normal after XP theme. The Temperature readings you have
posted are normal , so there's nothing to worry. So relax.
