technical notes from the living room

[Michael Eisenstadt]

Wayne,

That is done even with home PCs, by overclockers,
that is actual liquid heat transfer devices to cool the 
processor.

Well, I turned the computer on this morning but
instead of joie I got grief. It will not POST (power
on self-test) and the powersupply fan turns off
after 5 seconds. So I am in crying for help mode.
I emailed the sad tale to PCBuild, a fantastic
maillist for building PCs; the subscribers are
sure to suggest many things.

I also phoned Joe Ben Clark (related to one of
our subscribers) but, wise man, has not yet 
replied to the lamentations which I left on his
answering machine.

dead computer
