Hi again GTG
Normally my main fan is 50C, but when i start playing games, it raises about 18-20C and then it starts beeping . I wanna know, why does it get so hot[I remember, when old times, it never had this problems], why it gets 20C more hotter. And games are not some kind of new games like COD MW3, or Skyrim, games i play[cant play better] are old and dont have too big requirements. I would want to play game, without the beeping, without it getting too hot.

Your voltages look good but temps are high and this may be caused by stress on your system.
Ok you have a number of issues going on and a couple are serious and have the potential to crash your computer, I will come to those in just a second as they are the first thing you must deal with but I will first mention your choice of games and their minimum system requirements, Skyrim for example requires a minimum of 2GB of Ram but you only have 512MB so you are lucky it will run at all, it may however explain the error beeps when the Ram cannot cope

Skyrim Minimum Specs
•Windows 7/Vista/XP PC (32 or 64 bit)
•Processor: Dual Core 2.0GHz or equivalent processor
•2GB System RAM
•6GB free HDD Space
•Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 512 MB of RAM
•DirectX compatible sound card
•Internet access for Steam activation
http://www.bethblog....ents-announced/

The first serious problem we must deal with is the lack of available space on your HDD, you must always have between 12 and 15% of the HDDs overall capacity available for data transfer or risk HDD failure, see below for how we can free up some space;

My first suggestion is to tidy up the data on your HDD so please follow the directions provided below starting with Autoruns http://technet.micro...ernals/bb963902

1: Extract the Autoruns Zip file contents to a folder.
2: Double-click the "Autoruns.exe".
3: Click on the "Everything" tab
4: Remove any entries that mention "File Not Found" by right-clicking the entry and select Delete.
5: Go to File then to Export As or Save in some versions.
6: Save AutoRuns.txt file to known location like your Desktop.
7: Attach to your next reply.

2nd: Download and run TFC from http://www.geekstogo...ds&showfile=187 your computer should automatically re-boot on completion but if not do it manually.

3rd: Defrag your HDD http://www.auslogics...re/disk-defrag/ do this at least once a week in the future, a tidy drive is a faster drive, please note that I am not suggesting that you use any other product or service here.

Do the above and we can move on but meanwhile I suggest you stay away from Utorrents as you are putting yourself at risk of malware attack.

Thanks for clearing that up, I never looked at your desktop icons in all honesty!
How are you getting on with tidying up the HDD?

[Helger]
