3 questions.
What is CS, not everyone plays whatever it is.
Question 2, what keeps restarting, CS or AIM?
Question 3, does she get any error messages?

Well if temp3 is reading accurately, it is resetting due to thermal shutdown. 262F is something like 115(ish)Celcius and that is well past boiling point! Do us a favor and boot her computer into the BIOS and head to temperature monitoring or something like it. Give us the idle BIOS temps for CPU and any others her BIOS reports. Also, provide some system specs including what case and case fans she uses. The more information provided the easier it is to diagnose and provide a solution to the problem.

Sounds like the curse of windows from 95 up to vista [ really bad in xp].
It is in admin tools/services/remote procedure call [RPC]/recovery. Set 1st and 2nd error what to do as 'do nothing'
Activate admin tools on start menue [ right click taskbar properties/startmenue/customize check show admin tools. Do control panel as menue as well.

ORrrrr it could be a worm/virus and this may need to be removed using a standalone remover possibly run while using a live cd [ xp running from cd such as Bart's PE or from xp on memorystick/thumbdrive]

Open the side of the case and try playing the game. If no problems then you need better cooling.


Also download memtest86+ and test your memory, although usually memory errors do not cause reboots.

I would also choose this procedure.
And what is it whit "my friends this and my friend that?"
Surely, if all the friends in the world are having these problems.
Cant they find the answer them selfs?
