You turned on your computer with the heatsink off and the processor still in the motherboard? Were you using any illicit substances at the time?

Though I must admit - burning CPU is an interesting aroma...

verry interesting...

Kazer0 inside your CPU probably there are wires that are burnt...

Sorry Not repairable..

I had smoke coming out of a motherboard with no CPU once cause the Bios Got too hot it was like 50 degrees celcius.. IT was terrible.. Im glad it was only 1 of the 5 486 motherboards i have.

Wally, quit acting like you kno things. Not only am I a computer technicion, but I think I can tell what the problem is. And if there were wires bernt, what does it have to do with a motherboard? Last I checked, motherboards didnt have wires.

Not only does a BIOS chip not get hot during operation, but if it were a wire, you could replace the power supply.

Not only do I know that it was the processor, but I think I can tell bu the fact that I had it OPEN, on its SIDE, with NOTHING else in it, and was LOOKING AT IT, pretty much proves that I know it's the processor.

So don't even try and act like you know what your talking about, unless you do.

EDIT: After reading your reply again, it looks like you said "wires in the CPU". What the hell? There are no wires IN the CPU!

You actually should stop saying you know everything..

I dont know everything either so we are technically equal...

Those WIRES are microscopic

I didn't say I knew everything, and you should find proof in a form I can read. I don't have adobe acrobat, nor the necessary power to run it.

And the definition of 'wires' depends on your own personal definition. I would refer to them as conductors and transistors, not wires and switches.

I'm sorry, but in no way are you equal to me in technical knowhow.

sorry, no wires in the CPU... just a waferboard loaded w/ circuits. GG n00b...

well im sure there was wires unless my friends dad is a dickwad and not helping a bit. (A n00b)

That wasnt fair...

I apologise if i was wrong.... and starting a brawl...

However i do know heaps about all OS's Including Sun Solaris (UNIx Based OS)

. And i learnt all from my uncle as he is an 8th level unix administrator, actually i should say one of a few in australia

Wow, congradulations, you know a unix distro, that will get you far in life...

Good thing I fix computers professionally, so that I can be at the same technological level as a 12 year old.

Wow! You can actually make about $9,000 a year as a UNIX network administrator (at least that's what "one of 'em" told me) for the rest of your life!! Way to find a good career!

Man am I jelous. Too bad I didnt decide to take UNIX, and am instead working towards Computer Engineering.

Post by **Dogbreath** » Wed Jun 02, 2004 4:32 pm

Well, as I've always said, why get 120 grand a year when you can get 10?

Post by **Wally** » Wed Jun 02, 2004 6:06 pm

$9,000 a year

are you sure? That isnt that much in australian currency.. As an UNIX admin you get approx 40-80 thousand a year.. As my uncle got moved to port Macquarie NSW, He got more money. I will ask him how much he gets a year saturday when he is down in victoria

Post by **Dogbreath** » Wed Jun 02, 2004 6:13 pm

are you sure? That isnt that much in australian currency..

About $16,000 AUD.

As an UNIX admin you get approx 40-80 thousand a year..

And I just got back from frolicking by the fountain with the garden dwelling underwear eating gnomes that like pasta! On a more serious note, would you mind if I put that in my sig?

Post by **Wally** » Thu Jun 03, 2004 10:01 pm

nada...

They get more than $16,000 a year sheeze..
ore like he would make that in 6 weeks

Post by **Dogbreath** » Fri Jun 04, 2004 3:17 pm

$16,000 in 6 weeks? That's 128,000 a year, Wally. Either you're insane or the whole universe is...
