| 305484 | 2004-12-21 07:09:00 | Have you got your fan installed the right way around? I had similar issues a while back... the guy I bought the 2nd hand pc from had the heatsink and fan installed the wrong way round... Anyway, nothing a little arctic silver and a thermaltake volcano couldn't fix. Much quieter too :) Lo. |

| 305485 | 2004-12-21 07:15:00 | I wish it was that simple - I run a Thermaltake 3in1 cooler - it's a massive copper beast and it's definately on the right way - I am also using a thin layer of average thermal paste. The last Barton went the same way - ran normal temps for ages then one day just started increasing and no amount of fan power would change anything - the last one cooked itself - this one just seems to freeze the PC when it gets hot enough (I assume the BIOS is halting the system). I've watched it in the BIOS just continually increase until a freeze. Right on Christmas too - grr... |

| 305486 | 2005-01-01 20:52:00 | Hi, Happy new year to all. Just came across this thread as im having identical problems to yourself. I have a Shuttle SK43G with Barton 2500. After several failed attempts of getting memtest to complete I discovered that for some reason (which i have yet to discover) the bios controlled fans in my case, including the cpu fan stop working as soon as memtest starts, resulting in crashes and errors etc. Could this be the cause of your memtest problems ? |

| 305487 | 2005-01-01 22:29:00 | Hi noob, I've tested every component in my PC and have come to the conclusion that it's just another bad CPU - It worked for a while on low frequencies (100MHz FSB) but now just freezes the comp at POST at different stages - the CPU itself is physically looking fine though which is weird and I got MEMTEST to complete a few times so its pretty random... Another good point is to check for motherboard pins shorting on the case which would cause lockups but everything looks fine to me and I have tried two different motherboards - in your case I doubt this is the problem as the Shuttle would use a proprietry motherboard installed in the factory I assume. |
