Okay here's my rig..
Athlon 1.2 Ghz /w 256 Kingston PC133
Tyan 2930 MB
Chrome Orb, Case Fan, ArticSilver
Antec 300W (Athlon Approved Power Supply)
plus other stuff like IBM Hard Drives which you prolly don't care about
I just go home today and found out my computer was acting really weird... Within the first 10 minutes in windows, the computer just halted.. so I rebooted... NOTHING! Blank screen.. I can hear all the hard drive and stuff booting up.. so I power off and waited 30 secs... Power back on and it halts again during Windows ME bootup. So I power off and took the case apart.. Found out when I touch the CPU fan, My finger almost got BURNT! immediately took out my can of air duster and start spraying at the darn fan.. okay.. after 10 minutes.. I bootup into BIOS.. It stay steady at 51C for 2 minutes.. starts to climb... 55...60...65!!! (I can feel the temperature increasing with my fingers) I immediately poweroff coz it's growing at increasing speed..or temperature... All the fans are operating so the temperature should peak somewhere at least! Before, it used to peak at 59C, and I leave it on all night and the computer doesn't scream.. I dunno whats up with this thing and I am afraid to touch it!
Somebody suggest me some methodology to test what's wrong with this thing! (No, I don't have a spare athlon MB)
As crappy a chrome orb may be, it still shouldn't got beyond 65 at a rapid rate!!!
SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!
