overheating

My hubby got me this iMac, and I swear, it's been in on the repair bench more times than I can count. Luckily, most of it was under warranty. But I was just wondering, if anyone here's got the same system (or knows someone that does) and has 'modded' it to run cooler? Current Operating...

Hi, I was using my Imac G5 (pre iSight) and it suddenly shut down. It smelled of burnt plastic so I immediately disconnected the power and all accessories, laid the computer down, and took off the cover. Everything seemed normal, except the smell of burnt plastic coming from the fan and...

hi folks, i've been working more than usually on my iBook the past few weeks, and i was wondering whether it's overheating... the CPU temp is usually around 127 F (i guess that's quite normal, if the fan switches only on at 160 F - i've never reached that), but my Fujitsu MHT2060AT is also...

I have a second hand G3 Powebook Lombard that I believe is overheating. The unit would freeze up frequently at random times and I noticed it would get very hot. With the keyboard removed and a fan blowing on the CPU it runs fine. I checked and everything seems to be seated ok but it just gets...

OK, here goes... Around 2 years ago, I got my hands on a new G4 500 cube. For the first 6 months or so, it worked perfectly. Then, all of a sudden, my baby started putting herself to sleep, shutting down, or restarting completely randomly. The problem started off being once every 2 weeks or...

It can't be... but... For the past couple of days I've been having bad kernel crashes that I had originaly blamed on drivers. But after the computer kept crashing after I repartitioned and reinitialized the hard drive that idea went out the window (except for the fact I didn't "write zeros"...
