Good news thought I would share

Hi all,

I finally figured out the wierd freeze problem(after accidenlty frying a power supply). The problem was with the heat sink. I think it has too much dust in it. The hiss must of been the processor straining and then when the processor shut off that is what caused the freeze. I put on another heat sink and all worked .

I just have two more questions. Now that I need to buy a new power supply and heat sink do you recommend any sites. I am also looking to buy a new mb. I have been screwed by shaddy sites in the past(would not take a bad board and made me send it back to Abit at my expense) and was looking for good recomendations.

Also is there any easy way to remove those crazy heat sinks? I have the hardest time and I always think I am going to break something. I use a flathead screwdrive to push it down, but I still have to use alot of pressure and it never comes off easy. Is there a good trick.

Thanks to all that helped
