I think the fact that my computer is freezing when idle (ie: when I leave it on overnight, it won't respond the following morning) a sign that I probably need a new computer, or at least that the heat and the multiple restarts I've done when it's frozen while being overheated has taken a toll on something.
Unfortunately, after my recent trip to Europe, funds are rather tight until the end of October (though to be honest I still definitely have enough saved to afford roughly $800-900 in new computer), which means it might still be in my best interest to keep this computer running smoothly at least until I get all my data from my old hard drives (they're not SATA, so I'm not sure I want to even install them in my new setup) transferred to the external.
Anyways, it's cooled down quite a bit now, the weather forecast tells me the heatwave ended last night. Thank god, we're going back to regular temperatures. I'll see if my computer keeps freezing me on me at regular temperatures, and if it does, does anybody know what might be going wrong?
