drD, i think i may have figured out the cause of my woes (sys lockups during conversions)... my cpu is running at around 147 degrees farenheight. thats hot. i have found that in addition to my rip conversions freezing, all my other high cpu demand progs are freezing as well. i took my cpu and heat sink out and placed them in the freezer and ran a high demand game which had previously froze lickety-split, and it ran fine after the freezer treatment. do you know of any good cooling tweaks (water etc) that i can use? do you think this could be the source of my problems? thanks, youre the man.

I don't know about overclocking or tweaking with coolers at all, therefor I always run my CPU on regular clock speed and have good ventilation in my PC chassis.
But yeah, that sounds extremely probable, because the problems you were experiencing were something that I've never heard of.

Boy that high temp, mine never go over 110°F at full load and it is overclocked, you should check your chassis ventilation, at least one fan blowing in and one out, then what kind of heatsink do you have? Have you applied thermal paste? What kind of cpu do you have and what speed?
BTW i have a T-bird 1.33@1.5 with a thermalright SK-6 and a delta fan 38CFM

Fans, fans, fans.....often overlooked but oh so important. I have a Pent 4, 1.4gh. I have 5 fans to cool it (including an extra large processor fan with extra large heatsink). Before I installed these fans my cpu was running about 125 to 135 degrees but now it is consistently around 78 to 90 depending on seasonal/room temps. The high temps would lock up my gaming software before. But I'm cool now.

I think you are mistaken and the mobo is at 81.4 and the cpu at 145. For the fan it depends on your case if you have room to add a case fan add one, but i think you sshould check your heatsink, is it big enough? is it well seated? did you applied thermal paste? Applying thermal paste could lower dramatically your cpu temp

yea, antipop is right....heatsink can make quite a difference ...with thermal paste.
I would check a local computer store. Most big chain stores like compUSA do not carry much selection in fans or heatsinks. I am lucky i have a place here which had a few dozen different size and type of fans as well as heatsinks. As antipop said, it will depend on your case which fans you need to purchase. There are heatsinks for different pent chips too...need to be sure you get the right one. I couldn't say one brand of fan or heatsink over another. Be sure to compare the fan rpm. Big fans do not equal best fan.

You should have at least one fan blowing in
I think you should buy a good heatsink and some thermal past
