She told me to clean my computer. At first I didn`t do it ofc but then I opened up my computer and cleaned it from the 2-3 year old dusts.
Both of my processor`s core temperatures are now almost 50% of what they were before it, almost all of the temperatures significantly decreased except GPU which goes up to 80c when playing ME2 but I have heard it`s normal for GPU.. My processor cores stayed at around 35c while playing, they were at 65c in-game before I wiped out the dusts.

Anyways, earlier it always crashed my computer to shut down within 10+ minutes or something near 15, but now I played for about 30-40min and then let it stand still for 20 minutes, and it didn`t crash. Unbeliavable.

Girls are smart like that.

EDIT: It is always a good rule of thumb to buy 'canned air' (I **** you not - dry air in a can) and spray out the inside of your computer periodically.

You went 2-3 years without cleaning out the dust that frequently builds up inside your computer? LOL you're right, that is unbelievable. You should generally be doing this every 3-6 months minimum. It will extend the life of your hardware; trust me.

Other tips: if you have a desktop, relocate it to somewhere that allows good air circulation and this will help you decrease temps. If you have a laptop, tape 4 water bottle caps under the four corners of your laptop, and this will result in a 5-6 C degree peak decrease in temps.

Enjoy ME2

lol.. is it unbeliavable to have a girlfriend around these forums?

But yeah from now on I`ll clean this piece of junk from dusts occasionally. I`m not into cleaning so much so no wonder I didn`t even think about dust existing there.
