Thanks! I did this, and have not had the problem since.

I installed the "SpeedFan 4.29" app, and the temps appear to be "good" (green check mark) local temp=40C, remote temp=44C, HD0: 41C Are these good numbers?

I doubt it. As soon as I turned on the machine this morning the problem occured (within 3 minutes). But I will see if cleaning it will help. Thanks for the idea!

Hi, I'm a first time poster.... I have an HP Pavillion 510n, w/Celeron 1.2G, 512MB ram, running XP SP2, with all OS updates from MS update. After about an hour of use, the screen and mouse will freeze. After ~1 minute, the screen will go black, and the machine will not respond. I then power it off (holding the power button down), and power back up. Most of the time I will get a "recovered from a serious problem" box on powerup. When I click the "send error to Microsoft" button, I get a web page (Online Crash Analysis page) saying that the problem is "likely due to a problem with the Intel graphics controller", and it gives a link to "go to Intel.com to get the fix". When I go to the link, there is nothing there about fixing the problem. I have an 82810E graphics controller and I updated the driver (to ver 6.7, 6.13.1.3196), thinking that this was the problem, but it still shows the problem. Any idea what could be wrong? thanks!
