Gary and Jean,
Another diagnostic program that has proven very useful
is CPUCool, a free (un-registered) download from:
http://www.cpu-cool.de
more Info and screenshots:
http://www.cpu-cool.de/CPUCOOL.HTM
CPUcool can monitor and graph CPU and case temperature, fan
speed and supply voltages.
We had a PC and a laptop that were running very slow under
high CPU load. It turned out that in both cases the CPU
heatsink was clogged with dust and the CPU was overheating
and then throttling down its clock speed to protect itself.
Allegro (and Specctra) would not crash, but took a long
time to respond.
We found out later that Dell was being sued for premature
laptop hardware failures due to over heating. We now do
regular workstation maintenance, in order clean out any
dust with a blast of high pressure air.

Mike Finczak

problems. (to short!)
One or two years ago i have to change my pc power supply bloc because of
inexplicable reboots...
