On the old forum I asked for help with my laptop which was blue screening regularly. Someone advised it could be due to overheating, and I have pretty much settled on that as the explanation - it even went to a red screen recently which said that it had overheated!
So, I think part of the problem is that I've clogged it up with loads of software that I don't need and much of it is running in the background. It's running like a dog anyway, so I plan to blat it and reinstall. It's currently got Windows XP Pro and I'm thinking I should stick with that - I'd go for Linux but I need to do Microsoft .Net development so Windows makes sense.
Now, currently it is XP Pro 1-2 CPU (it's an Intel T2500 processor which is 32-bit but dual core). Do I need to get software which is specifically for 2 CPU or will something like this work anyway?

just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
It's already off the desk sitting on a stand with 3 fans running under it. But, those fans are quite probably blowing more filth into anyway.
Will CCleaner tell me which software I don't need running because I never use it? I suspect not.
