Merry Christmas! Rick,
Yes, I do plan to check the hs/fan combo first. I did have trouble getting
it to "click" on to the m/b. I do suspect this even though the fan spins at
power on (as does the chassis fan). I will start a debug session in a day
or so.
The final set of new parts are mounted and running well ATM in the guest
BR! So, I am 2 out of 3 ATM. Yes, I suppose that the I-775 socket can be
troublesome. Each time I mounted a cpu I sat and wondered about the
manufacturing process that made a socket so small that has 775 small pins
in it. That is some precision.....still amazed....... :)
Best of the Season!

Check the CPU heatsink.
That is a poor design, and I patched up friends box when the fan fell off,
(or got a little loose).
