I do not have much time because I do not want to cause any more damage to the computer.... but recently I have been having an overheating problem(CPU)... I 'ghetto' rigged a fan and it worked good for months!! then I recenly hooked up another fan so my graphics card wouldnt get too hot.
Soon after, the computer would just shut off on its own. Then today, something on the motherboard lit up like a match and I had to blow it out!!! Could that extra fan have caused some static or something?
So heres a picture
So what was it that lit on fire? OTher than motherboard monitor, is there any program that tells the motherboard Tempurature??? and how long do I have before the whole thing goes? I would like to back up all my files..
Thanks in advance for ANY help! I will have to shut down and check periodically.
