Well, things have gone from bad to worse. I moved my cache memory to a partition in
my second drive and it appears as if it wiped it out. That second drive

destroying the data and partitions it contained?


Don't know what you mean by 'cache memory'. This is a physical part of
the CPU which is RAM that stores recent or most frequently used
operations thus saving the CPU having to address main memory for such
actions thus speeding up processing time. What I think you are referring
to is virtual memory, which is a set aside space on the hard drive that
the CPU can use when main RAM is overused or full, ie the pagefile.sys file.


Right you are Frank, it was virtual memory. However, I ran a disk maintenance
program that restored the second drive. Unfortunately, although the blue
screen problem went away, the whole computer later slowed down. I tried shifting the
virtual memory back to the first drive, but that did not help. I ran all kinds of tests

and virus scans, but nothing explains this slow down. I am alocating about 1.5 times
the size of my ram memory for a virtual memory and have lot's or room on my C: drive.
. The only other suspicious thing is one of my temperature sensors is reading 99
degrees celcius. All my fans, including the CPU fan are working and nothing on the
motherboard feels excesively hot. It may be a heat problem. It can also be a
software
issue, but none of the tools I have tried have been able to isolate any problems. Any
leads
on this problem would be appreciated.

Perhaps look to see what speed the CPU is running at. Intels will dial back IF they get hot, and you did say you have an elevated temp reading.
