Is the CPU fan still working OK? If so, then you many try a new gob of thermal compound between the CPU and HSF unit. If that doesn't fix it the CPU is probably going bad. -Clint

It's a 500 MHz AMD K6 chip, runs for at most 20-30 minutes then shuts down when the area around the CPU gets hot then shuts off, after that it gets worse till it wont boot up at all till it cools down. any help greatly appreciated -Tony Electronics Inc. ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
