Have a question for you all. My CPU fan was making a lot of noise. I had a
tech come check it and replace it. Wasn't home when he was here. I had not
rebooted since he installed the new fan. He said he had to change something
in the bios to make the fan work as the computer kept rebooting? I didn't
understand. Last night I had to reboot and I thought my windows 2000 pro
would never load, and the toolbar took forever to show up, same with my
desktop. I called him and he said maybe the CPU was toast. Here is the
deal. He was here one morning and never came back till the next day to
replace it. He contends that the CPU would have been ruined before he came
the first time if it was ruined. So, I have no idea what may be going on
and am not going to try rebooting over the weekend. I'm not knowing if he
did something crazy with this or, it is just one woman's experience with
hardware.
I'm sorry but you've gotten taken to the cleaners. If he didn't clean
the existing CPU & then apply a new coat of adhesive before applying
the heat sink fan then that could've toasted your CPU. He may have
done this just to get you to buy a new CPU from him. OBTW one never
has to go into the bios to tweak anything if all they're doing is
replacing a fan anywhere in the system. Whatever you do don't use him
for any further computer work.
I would just love to hang this guy as it's people like this that give
the rest of us a bad name & helps the likes of Dell.
