StormHammer Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 You have my sympathy. Mind you, it's good to get the teething troubles out of the way. Especially while it's still under warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Rhett Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Ouch. Hosed. What was the problem? Bad fan? P4s burn up in a few minutes without sufficient cooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_One Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 They don't normally tend to go out spectacularly - they just crash and crash and crash. At least that's what happened when my CPU fan stopped working. Luckily it didn't fry - damn good heatsink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
