It helps if you move the data onto the cool side of the hard drive.

My video card overheated last week and caused a shut down.

I used canned air to clean out the fan on the GPU, and I updated the drivers.


Silly me, I forgot to reformat. I better get on that. =|

I reformatted my truck and the overheat problems went away.



Did you reinstall the ECU twice?

wait for the full story I had some overheating issues because the cheap bracket that goes on the bottom of the motherboard that holds the water block on the cpu warped. they where made of a cheap flimsy thin metal that lost its tinsel strength from heat.

all this happened at the same time the patch installed.

so I thought the overheating shutdowns caused my issues.



So you thought reformatting twice would help the heat caused shutdowns? The full story really did not make things better.



I didnt catch the heat problem till after the first reformat, my computer kept shutting down in the middle of the install so I figured it was corrupted after I fixed the heat problem, so I did it again.

Probably overtightened the fan belts too, you dumbass.

In all seriousness though, reformatting won't help any temperature issues. Overheating is caused by setting your firewall too high. I suggest turning it down or off altogether.

You know, I'm sure whatever you're trying to say isn't nearly as idiotic as you make it sound.

You should try taking some remedial writing classes at your local community college. Being able to tell a narrative logically and consequentially is a pretty important skill to have regardless of your other skill-sets or life goals.

Well that does sound at least mildly better.
