What Spec to Upgrade?
I spoilted my PC yesterday! I can’t stand for the pc alwayas auto shut down due to overheat. I decided to take out the fan for cleaning. So..I might accidentally spoilt the display card or motherboard (Sorry I do not know what happen to the PC). It just could not start after I install all back to it’s place. Monitor has no display and CPU seems like no running. Only CPU lighting is on, fans is working but monitor no display, keyboard no lighting.
Hmm…Maybe is my spirit looking for this to happen so that I have reason to upgrade the CPU? :p
But…how to upgrade? What spec to search for? Could I use back those dvd write, hard disk, monitor and others? I do not have much budget to do the upgrading, could it be done under US$500?

Well, if u get the computer up and running again there is a solution to your heating problem. U can “throttle” your CPU so its running at a low speed and low voltages when idle and then throttles to higher speeds and higher voltages when needed. A good free software to do this is RMClock, http://cpu.rightmark.org/products/rmclock.shtml
