heat is a killer on hardware. mother board chip set will fry at 70c to 80c and CPU will fry around 80c for AMD. runing a fan cooler is what killed you. That new heat sink i set you up with was made to over clock more.
I've seen quite a few times AMD CPU's reaching 90?C-100?C and still working fine afterwards. (of course, the person replaced their cooling system after)

ye it did kill me but now i have a good cooling sys and it works fine just need to get my head round overclocking.
i get there bet my graphix wont go past 8% i have a 6800 gt on order so untill then i will just have to wait. :rolleyes:
O.K. the moment your CPU reaches close to say 75C, your PC is suppose to stop & turn off, just to save your hardware. Then this will reset your Bios for safety.
You will probably have this in your Bios options, and it should be implemented as default. Did you deactivate this CPU saver?
And did you get your money back for the CPU, mobo & RAM? Because you should, due to your fan & BIOS Malfunctioning/Corrupted if you know what I mean ;)
Use your Warranty & get your hardware back.
You have too much of an investment to just let it go.

He is correct. Most BIOS's (within last 3-4 years) will shut down the PC if the CPU overheats to a great degree. I am very suprised that yours did not.

only problem is AMD will die in weeks when runing 55c to 65c none stop.
Then, try a Prescott running at that speed. Probably burn out in a couple days.

Well, anything over 75C & your PC should shut off. That all depends on if you have that set in the bios or not. Just as I mentioned earlier. ;)
had look in my old mobo book and there is no mention of cpu terning of when it gets to a sertan temp. My new one however dose and it lets me set the temp i want it to shut down at and warn me at.
i hqave not got my money back but to be honist i had not thought of that but now you mention it i will be going to see my computer dealer to see what he says and if not get all my money back at least get some.
