Dizbusta, I dont know what caused your problem but it may be your graphics card and/or drivers.

What graphics card are you using that is overheating on you? Yeah 30C is not a healthy temp for PCs. I know that there are a bunch of ATI Radeon cards that are sold w/o cooling fans, just heatsinks. I doubt those would survive in hotter temps. I've seen many of the computers in LOS come with a ton of cooling equipment built in, so much so that they really make a racket when you power them up.

I will have to try that program out later when I get home, I was having fun here at work with the google maps.
