PPC and crashes

[Ryu]

I had a similar problem here. The heatsink didnt get too warm but it was an overheating problem. All I had to do was remove the heatsink and replace the thermal paste so it conduct the heat to the heatsink more efficiently, been brilliant ever since. Mines a 603 clocked at 160, with the standard heatsink and fan.

A leg missing on what? You cant see the legs on the 603..... To get at the 603 you have to remove the big black heatsink by taking off the 2 steel clips, mine came off easily. All the white thermal paste had all dried up and gone like a powder so I put some fresh on, replaced the heatsink, put he clips back in and she's been running fine ever since. I also have a fan, no heatsink blowing on my Bvision, nothing in my machine has been overclocked.

Then sir you have a strange BPPC

hmm AFAIK all PPC's come like that from new, yours has been changed at some point then....

Couple of problems there:

1. I doubt theres anywhere in Skittyhorpe stocking such stuff

2. Im unable to order online, I dont have a Credit card and my Debit card isnt accepted online

Anyhow I have a heatsink for the Bvision, I just chose not to put it on the 3rd Bvision, I did on hthe previous 2 and they died..... this ones been running fine for almost a year now I think.
