Hi Yuri! Good to see you solved your problem. Just keep in mind that if your CPU overheated for some time, it is likely to die prematurely. I would strongly recommend to check the CPU temperature and, if you figure out that it is starting to heat up more than usual, be it by a couple of degrees, make sure you get quickly a replacement: it is usually the first sign of an agony... I had one die this way. Cheers Olivier On Wednesday 15 March 2006 20:43, Yuri Lukin wrote: > >soralx@cydem.org wrote .. > > This is a problem indeed. > > In any case, this is getting off-topic now.
