| Topic: Not cool | ||||||
| Two weeks ago, my Dell notebook once again decided it had had enough. The CPU had fried itself, so Dell decided to replace both the motherboard and CPU.
It only took two weeks for problems to rear their ugly heads again - on Monday night I was up late fixing some code for our Final Year Project, which we needed due the next day, and once again the CPU started throttling back. I eventually gave up, not realising until the next morning what the problem was - the fan wasn't moving at all. Completely dead. I eventually got it to start working again, but Dell are going to now replace both the heatsink and fan - I could only wish they had a copper HSF kit for this notebook, because the stock HSF in it clearly doesn't do the job. |
