Don't you have to shut down your PC and turn it back to get to the BIOS?

[Titanium Man]

yes
whats the problem

[Georges]

I want something I just open without having to turn off my computer. Like an application.

whats the problem with turning off a computer

[Georges]

There isn't. I just want to be able to open a window as soon as I'm done playing a game, and seeing what my temps are.

Ok, cool

it froze my computer at 4.5 ghz. it said 4.4 ghz was the most stable and it failed a prime95 test. you could try it, since your CPU is different than mine but I'm not sure that it'll work. just do a bunch of tests til you find what's the most stable is all I can say. My dad's FX-4170 can go up to 4.5 ghz stable, not sure why mine cant :(

Hey guys, does this look like a good computer?

I know I know, it's Dell and some people don't like them, but i'm just wondering if everything on it seems good for gaming. (And of course the price looks a little overpriced to me)

Right now i'm just looking around and not really planning on buying or not.

^ this should get you way better frames in games
edit; go with the one you chose. the processor is better and the video card is just slightly worse

Yeah, me and my grandmother are planning on building our own computer for Christmas or later next year if we don't find a good computer. Also, define "slightly worse"?

My computer just freezes up randomly while I'm playing games. I can't do anything and the only way to shut down my computer is a hard reboot.
