NAV/NIS & Spybot Crash XP
I had the crash using Spybot after updating. It just an instant reboot. I assumed it could be the update but after coming here to check the Support, I read about the overheating problem.
I have recently cleaned out my motherboard and heatsink for dust so im a bit puzzled.
BUT as its now crashing under NAV scan, which i guess also may be cpu intensive, its got me thinking. But its never crashed under NAV before, only Spybot.
My m/b has always run a bit hot, so im guessing that might try the scan after leaving the computer off overnight, to cool right down.
Running under Safe Mode, I guess, will overide any spyware or malware which might cause a reboot?
How about setting the Spybot scan to low priority and the Task Manager/Processes/Spybot.exe - to low priority? Might be less cpu intensive?
Interestingly, I do run Photoshop with huge images and some of the usage is cpu instensive, but it never crashes.
I have more than enough memory which is new, so I dont think its a bank of ram playing up either.
Shall report back with my findings.
Loved the reformat and install post!!:laugh:
