Hey guys. Something is wrong with SM15 and I'm not quite sure what it is. I think the install of windows may have gotten fubard and it isn't showing until today because when I came home yesterday it was sitting at the logon screen like it had been restarted. It did this two other times this week. It's not power outages, nor the roommates so I am looking into it.

    I found the problem, the fan on the HSF died. I had it o/ced to a 166Mhz FSB. Well, I turned it off, took off the side of the case, touched the HSF and screamed in pain. That HSF was HOT! Went to CompUSSR and bought a HSF to get her up and running. I have no idea how long this was going on, but it must have been folding a few days with no fan on. Amazingly the chip isn't dead. I don't know how but it isn't.
