Intel Dual Core & Win XP Problems

After the first 4 months, our brand new PC started to have
problems. It started showing black screens then blue screens. It was
dying in such a short time! Being under warranty, we brought it back to
the shop where we purchased it. We and the technicians thought it
needed reformatting and re-installation of the Windows XP and other softwares.
The technician said it would take at least four hours to do that.
Before leaving, the case of the CPU was opened for cleaning. To our and
the technician's surprise, the fan and heat sink of the Pentium
accumulated very thick dust compressed on the heat sink fins! In short,
it did not have enough cooling causing the computer to go bonkers!
Then
again, some time in December of 2007, the computer started to hang or
just freeze in the middle of surfing or viewing on the internet. I
needed to re-start whenever it happens. With the proliferation of
viruses, malware, spyware and adware, I always scanned the PC three or
more times a week with antivirus, anti-spyware and registry mechanic.
Seeing a good number of viruses detected by the anti-virus, it may be
the cause of those 'hanging' problems. The problems persisted though
even after scanning and defragmenting. All of us in the family using
the computer are experiencing the same thing until it became unbearable
a couple of weeks ago. I even suspected that it was the online game
downloaded by my son which had frequent trojans. The PC started to show
black screens again and warning of possible issues. The NVIDIA graphics
and video card started also to have problems. It was not able to
balance display colors, 3D and video settings any more! Re-starting the
computer almost every 30 minutes became a pain in the neck. I even
complained to some web sites that my PC hangs whenever I get to their
sites. I never realized that it was my faltering graphics and video
card that was causing it! Who would have thought that, anyway?
