That's a pretty specific problem with a piece of software few people have - perhaps ask on one of the #znc IRC channels???

Yea to me it sounds like the program is locking up at a certain point during the transmission, do you have logs during the events?

My (desktop) CPU temp is 80-85c, case temp is 29-31c

That seems like heat isn't making its way out of the cpu efficiently, should I get my cpu heatsink/fan re-thermal pasted/re-seated? or is it fine? (Intel i5, not overclocked)

yea that sounds like your heatsink needs to be reseated badly. do you feel heat blowing off of it?

Try using air to blow it off first. If it has enough dust attached to it, heat won't transfer properly.

I've used canned air, cleaned out the system recently, due to installing a new power supply.

Then the heatsink probably does need reattaching. That's a non-trivial procedure (I've peeled more than one processor apart trying to fix trash-can specials), so it is always a good idea to examine less drastic measures first.

It's really not that bad, as long as you're careful about what you're doing, and you make sure you have everything you need beforehand. Most importantly new heatsink paste, and a flat screwdriver.

And it's a bit easier when the existing paste is still hot, so shut it down after it's been running a while and get the existing heatsink off.

Would anyone be willing to tell me how I'd go about connecting one of these to one of these?

Monitor to graphics card? There should be a port on the external side of the graphics card once you've placed it in the PCI-e slot, or more likely multiple ports for multiple types of output. It will be in a different place than the motherboard's video output. Make sure you've got the right sort of connector cable (HDMI, VGA, whichever port matches what cable you have for the monitor)

Monitor is DVI-D capable so you need that white cable.

So I am trying to port forward here, and I don't know what i'm doing wrong, because I've followed instructions pretty much exactly.

I have a router linksys WRT160Nv3

It seems pretty straightforward and easy to follow when I'm doing the settings in the router. Just write the port number and then write the computer to direct it to. I've also tried this with my brother's computer, and its the same thing. I have gotten port forwarding working before, but after a period where my dad changed the password (forgot it >.>) and then reset the router, its no longer working.

Could you guys give me any advice on what I'm doing wrong? I'll try and tell you the information I know.

Go to 192.168.1.1
Go to Settings
Go to Advanced
Go to Port Forwarding
Enter IP addresses

Here are the steps I've taken succinctly:

Gone into my router, added the port in TCP and UDP to my local ip address. I've tried turning the router to default settings and adding the ports, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.

I've allowed an exception through my firewall.
