-ALERT- CPU Meltdown!
 
I speak to you a broken man. http://www.veforums.com/frown.gif
My CPU burnt out mysteriously on sunday night, rendering me a IT paraplegic.
Anybody who wishes to contact me will have to do so on my hotmail account deusX666@hotmail.com. Ahh the horror!
I hope to be back in business by the weekend with a shiny new Thunderbird 900mhz and new Mboard.
Problem is that came out of my NV20 funds http://www.veforums.com/frown.gif . Oh well I think I'll be watching Arnie films for the rest of the week.
Dont let patch 3 come out without me !!!!! j/k http://www.veforums.com/smile.gif

/me awaits thunderous laughter from the irc channels

Cheers guys.
This wouldn't be much of a problem if they still made Slot A Athlons but as it stands I have to replace a perfectly good motherboard with a Socket A one. http://www.veforums.com/frown.gif
Anybody from the UK have an idea on how to recoup the money on this one?
BTW I never overclock my hardware to stop this very thing from happening! But all of a sudden my machine kept resetting itself. I thought it might be the switch (which is broken http://www.veforums.com/smile.gif ) But even on unplugging it had no effect. Sometime later the CPU overheated and cut the machine out all together. (The heatsink had become partially detached from the CPU. I dont even know what the real problem is but I suspect it must be the cpu
Anyways I try to check back with the forums till the weekend.

Ill, I'm sure I can find some deals on slot A athlons for you......

Hmm... try these guys. http://www.eclipse-computers.com

On second thoughts, from the prices a new motherboard might be cheaper :O
