I look at http://www.msi.com/product/mb/GF615M-P33.html#/?div=CPUSupport and see this machine could need a yearly maintenance due to what could be a nearly 100 Watt CPU.
I'd like to read you do the canned air on the insides to keep it clean and that you've had the heat sink compound refreshed.

Tell more about your monthly maintenance of this beast.

I am using an Illusion PS2 mouse. I recently upgraded the system motherboard and processor as well as memory. However the web cam I had installed was not compatable and/or approved by windows. I noticed that my mouse would freeze up from time to time on a more regular basis so I uninstalled the webcam and all it's software as it caused a stop error problem.
There a now less mouse freezeups but it's still there. I have a music program which I believe to be a crack. Can this be the cause of the problem? I have read that having crack programs on a system can lead to system instability. Can that be the problem now.
I would surely like to have your assistance and i'm thanking you in advance for the same.
