    Hi all,

    I have had my own custom-built(by me) MSI 1651 bb pc. But ever since I've built it, it has been getting really hot and overheating to the point where the keyboard freezes and I have to take out the battery to reset it. I having thoughts that it could be the cpu which is a intel t9400 or i just need a better heatsink. If anyone has have problems like this please tell me what you did to fix it. Oh and does anyone know of any tv tuners (other than msi) that is compatible with this and upgrade graphics card.

    Thanks.

    Make sure to get the latest BIOS for the barebone/whitebook version.
    Also check the CPU thermal conduct, what are you using for it to keep it cool.
