I built a pc around Pentium cpu, Intel D865GVHZ board, Antec case/PS
back in '06.
Have been running it about 16 hours/day ever since.
Whilst running a backup last night, I heard a constant little tic-tic, tic-tic,
tic-tic sound, looked down to find Speedfan registered about 74 C. then watched
the W2k system crash.
I immediately suspected a cpu fan failure, but all fans were running
when I checked.
I replaced the cpu fan anyway. This morn it wouldn't even POST, showed only an
"Intel board" screen. A bit later it wouldn't power at all (no fans. lights,
nothing).
The Power Supply is Smart-Power 350w. It could have gone bad and overjuiced
the cpu causing the 74 C. temp?
I've not had a system fail in this manner. Hope someone has some idea
what caused it.
Thx,
Peetie
