You'll find that post destruction you are happy and in good cheer even though you just pounded the living shit out of a 2k peice of technology.

Got close to that repair method late last night myself

Fortunately, with a clearer head today I was able to isolate the problem and correct it. Built this machine 3 years ago and last night was the first time its ever given me a BSOD (blue screen of death...for the non-geeks).

Stu, I feel your pain darlin...the heat issue could well be the source of your problems. While working on this machine today, I cleaned it out...was nasty in there

have you done virus check? cause usually a sign of the computer keeps turning off is mostly because you have gotten a virus in your computer.
