    I have to or my computer will overheat and shut off.

    It read 66C about 15 minutes after a reboot right after I downloaded the program.

    Clean the dust out the back of your computer. It helps a lot...

    Found out that it was a problem with the skin I was using and the Bookmarks Toolbar in Firefox. If I disable the toolbar, it works fine. That really sucks, because I love my bookmarks! :(

    The bookmarks issue going up and down happens if you have no links in it.
    As for the computer overheating. Try reseating your heatsink on your cpu. Buy some arctic silver and some 99% Isophyll, read some guides on removing and reattaching heatsinks and see if that helps. If that doesnt help, buy an aftermarket heatsink.

    Make sure your pc is entirely clean from Dust. 66C is quite hot for only photoshopping. You might want to invest in a aftermarket CPU cooler. Do a virus and ad-aware scan. Try booting into safe mode and see if you get the same problems.
