Hi Baz

My rather old astro PC kept shutting down after about 15mins of use.
It appeared to be an overheating problem and after removing the cpu
fan/heat sink I found that the heat sink had a carpet of dust fibres on it.
I removed this and the PC now works fine. So apparently a PC (like me)will shut down if it gets too hot!

Cheers Peter
