    steam refuse to log me on, it used to work a few days ago.
    it sort of freezes at the 'connecting steam account xxxxx' stage. I can't click cancel, but the program is still responding.

    any ideas?

    If you got login problems on steam, delete ClientRegistry.blob 9/10 times this works :p

    Euhm, my 8600M GT used to be hot lol (idle at 62°C and 93°C under full load) but I got some problems with it, you can read it here (and the problem isn't driver related):
