Recommended Maximum CPU temperature List for Intel and AMD Processors

You think your CPU is Hot , here is a checklist to confirm that what you  believe is true or just your fantasy,

I had Intel core2 duo on my Dell Notebook, It restarted abruptly and so I thought Heat might be the reason so I used the Dell Drivers CD to check and diagnose all my hardware at boot time ( you can do it too, just keep your driver CD in tray , restart system press f12 and select hardware diagnose and rest is easy).

Anyways, what i came up with is that Intel core 2 Duo series  which is currently used in all notebooks has a maximum temperature withstanding ability ( critical temperature ) of 100 degree celsius, and to crosscheck yours you can use this freeware utility SpeedFan ( It’s dangerous too so just dont fool around with settings, just use it to see your processor temperature ), Mine was 60 degree celsius when i checked and this is a little above normal temperature which is around 50 degrees.

See how well your Processor  beats the HEAT !!

Connect Disconnect PPPOE or Dial up using Command Line or Batch Scripting

Trying to reconnect your internet connection with some batch script or command line code then , yes you have a saviour the RASDIAL utility, which can easily connect or disconnect your Dial up modem or a PPPOE broadband connection. It works in both XP and Vista

just go to your command line or inside your batch script add these

Suppose you have a Internet connection named BSNL with username- vivekz and password- secret123  .

Now to Disconnect from it use,

rasdial BSNL /disconnect

To connect to Internet through BSNL connection type in

rasdial BSNL vivekz secret123

ie. rasdial <connection name> <username> <password>

Hope that helped you out as I was stuck with the same issue and I was using the rather general purpose nircmd utility for it .
