But what I can do right now? May be, there is possibility to restrict processor work-loading? For example, limit d.net appetite for proc resources to 80% of maximum. So, if my tasks occupy 80% or more, d.net paused, if my tasks occupy 79%, d.net claim no more than 1%, etc... Can I configure maximal proc work-load and, if answer is "yes", then how to do it? My OS is OS/2 Warp 4.52 (kernel revision 14.100F of 11Nov2004). > > > FIRST check to see if your heatsink's fan is working properly, just open the case while it's running and check. As a professional I recommend "Arctic Silver 2" thermal paste. It works wonders as a replacement for Original Equipment Manufacturer (or OEM) thermal paste. "Arctic Silver 2" may solve your problem just by itself. I recommend cleaning the old paste away with rubbing alcohol (or vodka). If the heatsink has a thermal pad, scrape it off with a knife or razor blade. *??????? **?????** ????????!!
