my pride and joy has totally and unexpectedly shut down 4 times in the past week and half - no warning no frozen screen just shuts down.
anyone have any ideas as to why? 
i did this speedfan thing tho none of it means anything to me lol
You really should have mentioned that when we started asking questions. A lot of people spent time trying to help. Maybe your friend reached the limit of his/her activations?
Yeah, cos if that particular copy of Win 7 was activated on two machines/was active at the same time, problems were more than likely.... as in the second installation would have been classified non-genuine and periodically shut down... periodically to to begin with to give the user the opportunity to purchase a license. It's something I remember reading someplace a while back when Win 7 went RTM.
The problem isn't the fan. The image (below) isn't the W7 error log I requested.
More likely the problem is your copy of W7. Reinstall an original copy.
When you install, uncheck the box that allows Windows to automaticly activate.
This will allow you 30 days before you are required to activate. I allways install this way to make sure the OS is running stable, just in case I need to reinstall.
Hmmm, I'll have to remember this gem. I've had a couple of Windows installs that didn't go so well and needed a clean install to rectify the issues. Doesn't happen often... but it can happen, and I'd rather not be using up my activations on dud installs.
The kindest word I can come up with for the initial post and the OP is........
Unbelievable.
Huh. I'd like my 5 minutes back please.
look - when you are unemployed and a good friend offers to help by using his windows7 and installing on my pc i dont see that as wrong. as it turned out i have used my meagre resources and got a brand new one tho i can ill afford it. still, i do appreciate ppls efforts and if i wasted your precious time then i apologise.
