Cormac 0 Posted July 10, 2006 It's job is to pull heat away from the CPU. So with yours not being in it's proper place ontop of the CPU, that would explain why your temperatures are so high. Try and reseat the heatsink and see if that helps to cool it down some. Share this post Link to post
Relic 0 Posted July 10, 2006 That heatsink is actually off the Northbridge chip, which does get hot and will make the system unstable. The small part is most likely the hold-down clamp for the one side of the heatsink, and was at one time soldered to the mobo. Obviously, for some reason, the solder has let go, and the heatsink fell off. The only option I can see is for you to get some thermal tape(two-sided), or some thermal epoxy, and get the heatsink back on the Northbridge before you fry your mobo, if it isn't fried already.

Char27 0 Posted July 11, 2006 i think speefan didnt support some of my hardware so i got new program and i think u can see the changes about the heatsink..does it matter which side the wire thingys go.. or what positions there are..look my pics..there are those things on the 2 side of the heatsink..

Cormac 0 Posted July 11, 2006 Hey Char, I finally found your answer to the parts. The little part is what the heatsink clip hooks onto to hold it down in place. You need to find a way to get it attached back in place so you can hook the clap under it. I found this picture of your motherboard showing both parts. http://www.chaintech.com.tw/tw/images/Products/Motherboard/9bia_L.jpg Share this post Link to post

The wee part is originally soldered to the mobo, for some reason(poor soldering job) the solder let go. Best to use two-sided thermal tape, or thermal epoxy to reintall it. I doubt Char wants to tackle re-soldering it to the mobo. Share this post Link to post

Relic 0 Posted July 14, 2006 Just out of curiousity, where did you get your copy of XP from, and why are you only running SP1 on your system? Doesn't have anything to do with Micro$haft Authentication, does it? Share this post Link to post

coolguy3 0 Posted March 7, 2007 The constant crashing you've described is most likely a bad capacitor on your computer's motherboard and/or power supply. http://www.badcaps.net Vince Share this post Link to post
