Try telling that to mine when I got to the BIOS screen. Just making a few changes and 'blip' - straight shutdown. 'OMG' moment when I realised that I hadn't reconnected the GPU fan back to power supply pin-out. Feckin red-hot it was too.
Close call with that one. :cool:

Ads, what graphics card have you got? I haven't read all this thread, so apologies if its been said already. If the fan on the gfx card is hardly moving (or dead?), it will trigger a thermal shutdown similar to the one on the CPUs.
Doesn't normally do it as quick as what you mention though...
I bet you'll notice a better uptake on the acceleration as well. :) When I went from 14's on the Punto GT up to 17's - it felt like the 0-60 time had doubled. :(

Moz - did the same on my Amiga m8, similar price too, iirc. But it was a whole lot easier to fit. Flip the Amiga over, unclip the centre 'hatch' and clip the memory board in. Worked a treat. Quite a few games got 'boosted' by the 1MB onboard. F-18 Interceptor played the intro music and ones like...
A few days ago now. A good effort, from what I saw of it. Complete with twin pipes, boot badging and RS alloys. Something at first glance didn't look right and it was then I noticed the rear doors. :)
Anyone off here?

Hehehe! Does chipped flamer look as bad as chipped black gold, then??? :) Just a pisser about your rim - that would be the bit that would grate on me the most. Certainly worth checking that she's still running straight and true once you get her back.
