Burned out processor???
Dope.Thermal compound doesn't bond.Thermal pads like AMD uses can be a
little tough to remove,unless you use a little heat like a hair dryer,but they don't bond either. "Monkey Wrench" wrote in message .. . "Dylan C" wrote in message ... Monkey Wrench wrote: As for that Thermal Grease I threw that stuff away and the one and only time I ever used it I followed the directions (It's not rocket science) put it on and a couple of weeks later needed to take out the processor for some reason and couldn't get the fan off so I kept trying until I got so mad I pulled off the fan, CPU and ZIFF socket all together and used a screw driver to pry it apart. Everything still worked. That grease came with the new fan that time and I heard a lot of people swear it's good stuff so I used it, but it was bonded like epoxy and I won't ever use it again. That was on a AMD 500, a long time ago. Monkey Wrench Thanks anyway for the advice. Monkey Wrench Am I understanding you properly? You don't use any sort of thermal compound on your heatsink? -Dylan C That is correct. As I said it bonded like epoxy that time so I don't use it. Do you think I should? I am willing to listen to advice. Monkey Wrench -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Burned out processor???
Monkey Wrenchwrote:
AMD Athlon XP 2900+ Abit KV7-V motherboard For almost a year the computer had no problems then suddenly it would shut down after 10 minutes. After changing the power supply there was no change. The motherboard had two weeks left on warranty so I got that and it started shutting down after two minutes making an ambulance siren sound from the beginning of the problem. Tried a new fan. Didn't Help. I've taken everything out except the processor and fan. When it boots it beeps, the screen shows text of booting then beeps again, does nothing for a few seconds, beeps again then shuts down blasting the siren sound. It only runs for 15 seconds now. Is there any hope for this processor? Where is the best place to get another processor? Lowest Price? I've been trying to get someone to test the processor but no one has a motherboard this processor will work on.
