Processors really need those finny things with the fans on top and if one of the (cheap) plastic clips that holds it down nice and firm on top of the chip gets loose, the temperature starts rising and then your system... just stops. And, if you don't leave it alone until you can get it replaced, all the magic smoke escapes. So, I left mine alone (for now) and will be picking up a new heatsink tomorrow. Meanwhile, I've been installing and patching and updating to get a working system...
Look for a new post in the morning - I've got several sets of pictures all lined up and ready to go, but I have to collect all the inworld info for you guys. Promise it will be worth the wait. :)
