i've been using my barton 2500+ o/c'd to 214fsb for quite some time now. it was prime stable, running at 44C idle, and i never had a problem. However, recently i added liquid silver 5 to my core, to cool it down a tad, and as i started the computer i heard a loud BEEP, and realized that i had forgotten to plug in the damn heatsinc 
, well now i was doing some small multi-tasking and my computer shuts down. i find this odd, so i run prime95 and it shuts down after only 5 minutes. when i get back into windows, my graphics card's driver was then corrupt, and i had to reinstall the driver :wine:, after all that i'm back into windows, i lowered my fsb to 210, and i'm stable, i think.
Though my overall question is, because of that 6 second period where i didn't have my heat sinc plugged in after restarting, could that possibly have caused my cpu to become less stable than before?? thanks for the replies.
