PCs and Powertools

So, I had an overheating problem. I've been driving myself nuts lately; downloading new GPU drivers, reverting to older drivers, clean installing drivers, and attempting to adjust fan speeds...all for naught. No matter, I was still getting massive temperature spikes and as a result my GPU was auto-underclocking when the red line was reached. I just purchased Skyrim, I wanted to play, and now I was angry. I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. I decided that now was no time for caution, so I got brave and decided it was about time I knew my laptop a little more intimately.
