I had completely forgotten to run the EVGA fan. I just checked it. It was at 88C which is high. Starting it has brot the temp down to 80C which is much better.
If that works I will keep the Windows 7 for now just to avoid all those changes to XP.
Yes there was an option to repair and repair from the CD. It said something like, "select a system image." There was nothing there to restore. I'm wondering if I should save anything now that the system is temporarily up? I know there are software restore days saved but that may not be what we're talking about.
Anyway I'm going to now get my vacumm to clean out the dust from the case.
