I suspect nasty virus on my computer:
- at some point my computer started to heat up and not just heat up normally, computers do that: the heat wonders around - it changes temperature and location;


Thanks a lot!

I have edited this to cover one part of a multipart problem You have posted the other problems in the appropriate threads.

Please only post the same question once. If the pc keeps crashing when you try to save bios settings, try pulling the coin battery on the motherboard (also known as the cmos battery) for a few minutes.

ok. good to know, thanks.
This is not really an issue though. Any advise on hard drive partitioning/installing Linux problem?

Thanks,

I think the first thing to do is to address the heating issue as that could be a problem. What is the Make and model of your computer? What kind of apps are running when the temp issues occur? When is the last time you cleaned the dust of it? I am not sure of what you mean by the temps "Wander around and change Location ". What app are you using to monitor the temps?

By the way, try using hwmonitor to monitor temps.
