    Did I order the wrong SCSI Hard Drive?

    CPU overheating.... why?

    Before I put the new heatsink and fan on it was running very bad. I thought it was a RAM problem since the monitor would not turn almost half the times you booted it up. It is still running hot according to the bios (170F), but all the problems are gone relating to random lock ups and the...
