Yeah probably someday I will do that too. Thanks for the advice.

More problems.........sitting there @ 4GHz typing and the system froze up and would not reboot. The light on the mobo says cpu is not initializing because it never gets past that light which is the first to light up.

I removed and inspected everything to find the paper towel gasket slightly moist, but nothing else wet at all. I thought maybe "cold-bug" but after warming up and reinstalling the block(which I did not turn on), I get the same result. I reset cmos, removed battery and unplugged for awhile.

Seems that my cpu just quit.

I may look for a cheap 555BE or something to see if it's actually the cpu. Anyone got an AM3 cpu for sale?
