I don't know if there is a sencer that is broken. Maybe  your heat sinc is 
outof wack? I don't know much about computers, well at least the hardware end 
anyways.

  Hi again.  Well, I had someone look at the cpu usage meter and the percentage 
level indicated doesn't match the graph displayed.  Also, when I shut down the 
machine for an hour and then restarted it, it ran fine for 2 or 3 minutes.  
Jaws was running fine and the machine was running as smooth and fast as it was 
before this occurred.  However, after these 2 or 3 minutes, the fan kicked on 
pretty high and has been running at this high speed ever since.  And as soon as 
that happened, everything slowed down to a crawl and jaws is very choppy.



  Does this shed any light on what's going on?  The fan sounds fine, like it 
always does.  However, although it's pushing lots of air, it isn't hot air, not 
even that warm actually.



  Thanks again everybody,



  Cameron.
