Frozen, mouse wont move! SB overheating?
Hi, this hasnt happed for a while. My pc had been on all day hosting gmod servers.
I got back from going out, and went to surf the net, checked a forum and went to reply, then suddenly i was given a message saying it could load the next page because of a network timeout. I refreshed once but it still didnt work. Then suddenly my mouse wouldnt move and the whole pc had frozen on, caps locks woulfnt respond.
i was forced to do a reset. At this point i felt the south bridge heatsink, it was so hot i mildly burn my finger.
Like i said my pc hasnt frozen in a while. It seems to only do it when im using bandwidth.
My case has pretty good airflow. and all my other components are cool
all in 30s-40 max
Im am also 100% sure my gfx card isnt fried.
the south bridge is the on under the graphics card right?
Is this it overheating or somthing else?
Also, another problem is that it seems to (sometimes) freeze on startup (with the blue loading bar), somtimes it freezes completly and others it just loads forever so i have to reset and choose boot from last know config that worked.
Why is this?

Guess its not the harddrive.
I loose connection, then the pc freezes. Could it be somthing to do with my wireless adapter? causing freezes? Or somthing to do with drivers for somr networking or internet controller... i dont know
Thanks very much for your time Thrax, I appreciate it
