Aibiria,
You might get some help here, but I'd suggest posting on a computer hardware forum like the ones at cnet.com or similar places.
As far as temperature goes, it depends on the processor. I don't know much about the XP1700s, but I can tell you that overheating can
cause lockups for sure. There are other sources of lockups as well....bad RAM, registry issues, driver issues, even bad video card. If the
fan on your video card stopped working, I would guess that maybe your video card is overheating. Just opening the case can not cool it
effectively and if you replaced the fan make sure it is blowing the right way (it blows away from the chip, not onto it) and that the fan is an
acceptable replacement.
It looks like you are due for a new rig....start saving cash and upgrade so you can fly with full graphics at 20fps anywhere in the FS world.
You'll be surprised how much more enjoyable FS9 is when you can crank up the graphics and run it smoothly.
Good luck,
Gibbmusic
