The other day when I was running a couple of virtual machines in Virtual PC in my computer I got a warning looking like the picture below. Vista detected that the machine was working very hard and offered me to switch to the Windows Vista Basic color scheme. This is the first time I’ve seen this in Vista since I started testing a couple of years ago. Have you seen this or anything similar?

Have had similar problem, but it ended up being dusty air vents. These tend to clog quite quickly on my machine (Zoostrom). Keep an eye on this before motherboard brown outs.
