Down arrows - means the temp is more than fine (its lower than the threshold, in which the icon turns to a red up arrow, then a fire)

Is your case a really dodgy "modern" case?

Try checking your fans, too. They might be stuffed :S

RE: All-of-a-Sudden Computer Frozen
firefox used to freeze my comp too, this was on XP

Not experienced any problems on Vista x64 yet :)

From my experience forget overheating, its most likely not it, you may have a corrupt firefox profile somehow or a faulty piece of RAM (unfortunately very common)

...Then there is also drivers and general compatibility to consider also, most importantly motherboard and graphics card stuff with regards to system locks, restarts and failures.

hope this is of some help

I do realize this is 3/4year old thread, but it's with the same computer, with similar situations...except...

It's getting stuck without doing anything after about 3 hours!

wtf :p. It's earlier this year :p.

As for fixing it. Well, how'd you fix it last time?

System Restore if it's something related to that?

Take one stick of RAM out and see if it still happens. If it does, put the one you took out back in, and take out the other one. If you only have one stick, have you got another computer you can take the RAM out and put into yours temporarily?

And don't say "something that doesn't involve taking things apart", RAM is about as simple to take out/put in as opening the front door on your house, without the lock. :dodgy:

or you could just run memtest which doesn't require you taking it apart *and* is sure to give a result

Only if the threshold is set properly. The defaults aren't always correct, you have to set them for your computer before you start using it if you want to look at the icons.
