I am in desperate need of help here, i have wasted hours trying to fix these problems yet nothing is working.

I have googled and found endless pages of info on these things but the answers were around 2 years old, and i have tried what other people have done and it has not worked.

So simply put, when watching high quality videos or playing games on my bootcamped windows xp the system restarts because it is over heating, yet this never happens when im on leopard and the temperatures are similar.

I read somewhere that the maximum fan speed in xp is 1800rpm or something which could be the answer to the over heating but the only app i could find was fancontrol and it couldn't detect my fans or alter there speed.

My second issue is with the bootcamp 2.1 update, after i installed it all my fonts were blury in xp and after i tried reinstalling the drivers using the leopard disk (which apparently should have fixed the issue) i still have blury fonts and i have no idea what to do.

The final issue i am having is that some drivers, the driver to allow me to use bluetooth for example, is not working, thus i can not use bluetooth and reinstalling the drivers just wont fix the problem.

I am out of ideas, and i have no idea what to do, if i reinstall windows it will be hours of time wasted, could someone please assist me with this :/.
