# Whip it good!
I love these.

Also WHY DOES NO-ONE CARE ABOUT THE DETERIORATING OF MY COMPUTER

# Can you underclock with your BIOS?
If it is indeed a heatsink/fan issue.

# Do what now?
Does it involve opening it up?

# Use a lower clock rate.
Many BIOS configurations can be set to below CPU's stated rate.
This generates much less heat. Check the FAQ for your Motherboard.

edit: Usually not. F1 or other hot key to access hardware settings before OS boot.
If it is set by a jumper (little pegs on the board), yes it will.

# I'll look into it, cheers.
I figured I have to get the fan operating manually,
didn't occur to me I could just make it work at a lower temp.
(I helped save b3ta! Bela Lugosi's Dad, Tue 17 Mar 2009, 7:23, archived)
# If the fan is not working, or oscillating in speed you are in danger of overheating the CPU.
Most CPUs will try to reduce heat by switching off. Some motherboards
have smart temp detection and can think there is a problem when there
is not. Such as the when temp detection is borked, but the fan is doing its job.

edit: There can also be the case where a RAM module is overheating.
But I may be telling/scaring you more than is needed, LOL.

# This is the thing
It hardly ever comes on (or if it does, I don't hear it). When it crashes
and I reboot, it'll go like the clappers for a bit, then go back down.

# Just a guess (educated) CPU fan replacement is needed.
Dirt is in the blades. Underclocking may let passive sink do the job.
But when it starts needing to work hard(and firefox is a real punk)
you are going to get shut down by the temp getting beyond threshold.

Simple paintbrush to remove lint from around the sinkblades and the fanblades
may be all that is needed. Clear airflow is the key--passive(sink) or active(fan).

# you can sometimes remove the fan head
and clean/oil it as needs be, i've done this before

# assuming you're in the UK, leave it plugged in but not switched on at the wall
that way the case will be earthed, and if you lean on the metal bits of the case while you poke you won't zap anything with static

note: doesn't work if you're somewhere with 2 pin power supplies

Could have had it the other way round--cat viewing into faux room.
More predatory that way. And squirrel with tits might have been more populist...
Still not sure which is best, so went with quick the dirty option.

I already have one double FP...but there are a few old time curmudgeons still lurking about that might well spot any peas of mine and call me to task for it - as was done a few days ago. ;)

spacefish! I'm so happy to see you! Hope all is well with you. I had one of those big sickie things - basically lost all will to live and hummus. But I'M BETTER NOW ( yes, all caps on that) and am hoping to get all my hummus back real soon.

Good morrow sir. I wonder if you'll sign feline declawing bill?
woo.

'ningles all.

I has scrummy croussant with ham and cheese for brekkie.


EDIT: Ooo! Ooo! I forgot my morning rant. Some pillock woke me up at 6am by trying to check in. I explained repeatedly that our website and his booking confirmation clearly stated under the heading 'PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS' that the earliest check in time was 11am.
Having finally grasped the premis he then says. 'OK. I'll hang round her til it's evelen then'.
I then have to explain the who concept of checking, that that is the earilest time you can arrive at the building.
My Dog! You'd think that if they're clever enough to enter their detail into a website they'd be clever enough to read.

EDIT EDIT: Although I do I do take some perverse satisfaction knowing that he'll:

a) Knowing that he'll have to wander round for five hours.

or

b) Going from hostel to hotel thinking, 'fuck him I'll stay elsewhere' and either having to come back her five hours later or thinking he'll show me by staying elsewhere when he finds a place.
If he didn't read the check in times he didn't read that if he doesn't stay I'll charge his card anyway:P

# Re: checkins
1. Get a roller window shade and install it above the front desk
2. Paint "11:00AM ASSHOLE" on it.
3. Pull cord every fucking morning it seems.
4. Profit!

# My fault
There's an intercom in my room just in case a guest locks themsevles out. I talked to him through that.
From a careful study over the years, if you had to name one EU country and gender that were going a balls up, be clueless or generally inept It'd have to be the Italian male.

EDIT: Now I have had my coffee I have sense enough to laugh at your statement.
