Well it looks just like they're charging you extra to let them overclock your pc for you. You may as well just buy your own and overclock it. I have never heard of them....doesn't seem like there's that much to their website....I'd be weary of it. Dan

Hard Drive Temperature Sensors are internal to the hard drive itself. From what I can guess its either a problem with the software or the temperature sensor itself. I'd try another hard drive temperature program and compare the values to see for yourself. Dan

What motherboard and power supply do you currently have?

Grab a spare hard drive and try to install XP on it. This will rule out a virus. If it still happens then it is a hardware issue that will need to be tested further. I dont think its a virus, I'm more likely to bet its hardware related or XP has been corrupted.
