My cpu just overheated again while I was using Linux. This time I was
browsing the web. I am back into Windows to post this. It does not
over heat in Windows. I am not saying Windows is better just because
of this, and I am not saying that Linux causes cpu's to overheat
easier.

As I said earlier, I am in the process of getting a Zalman
CNPS9500-LED Aero Flower Cooler Copper. I am going to take apart my
computer and dust it thoroughly, which it needs. I am also getting a
new power supply. So I will see if that works. Can't use Linux until
then though.
