what are some common symptoms one might experience with a chipped die (other than not POSTing at all)?
I recently replaced the aging thermal pad with arctic silver 3 and i think i chipped off a microscopic part of the corner of the die. (Thermoengine heatsink...bad mistake). I looked at it under a magnifying glass and i see a small part missing from the corner. After i put everything back together, the machine seems really flaky. It's been freezing up a LOT, when before it froze up maybe once every 4 months (with 24 hour up time). It seems logical that this would be caused from the chipped die, but are there any other symptoms? (btw, since i put on the AS, temp has dropped 18 degrees celcius to 37C @ medium load)
