What do you want, the expensive, or the cheap answer ?
The expensive : Buy a new CPU
The cheap : Buy a kazoo :wink:

As the Man of Many Mysteries (A.k.a. Chris Abbott) said, "Problem Solv-ed". =)
There's one rock of a man, right there. =)

Now I just have to sit tight until the solv-ed problem makes it way over here. 8)

Bow to the master. Chris is our God.

You're a bloody jinx you are Sonic! I've just broken my Graphic card (physically!) while upgrading my system BIOS to solve a problem with the USB controller - long story....

Still, gives me a good excuse to go and get an ATI Radeon 1900 I guess :)

It seems you Athlon died because a bad or destryed CPU Fan. Normally the board should react and shutting down if the CPU temperature is too high. The Athlon XP is well known for burning down.

Take an Athlon 64 next time.

Replacement CPU installed and appears to be running fine.
I seem to be up and running again. Happy-happy, joy-joy. 8)
