I've just got noflushd going-this may help. I've searched the net for info about overheating and found little, although I did read one comment about todays fast processors being prone to the problem. Mine is a PIII (non-mobile). The warranty expired this month. I'm very unhappy with my support company and its unlikely I'll send it back to them. Likelihood of replacement is small. And it'll take a month. Tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
