Classic British Flight Sim

Thanks Bob

The machine is doing everything as it should...no shut downs, non lock ups ,no slow ups, no fail to save, no booting out of programmes.......running as sweet as it could be.

I would guess if there was a real problem then the odd little behaviour quirk would have shown.

But no......touch wood :doho: it all seems OK

I went into a high rate of concern and saved what I was doing as it was not at start up the noise occured.....about ten minuets later. But as mentioned above it was all settled in less time than it took to make the back up disk.

The total time was about for minutes but enough to make me think and at the time I was expecting it to re occur at ever increasing frequecncies.

But all seem well and the cleaning was a good move in any event.

I had a similar noise it was the chipset fan on my ASUS A8NSLI Delux motherboard it was a common problem and ASUS sent me anew one FOC fitting it was a bugger as the board had to come out.

Hi Tony

That's the MB I have.

When a fan went before they changed the whole MB instead of farting arround with it. The MB is on a four year warranty. All is quiet since the day of the post :think:

Ok Garry you will no doubt havea warning on start up in the bit before Windows starts stating "chipset fan failure" if it happens. I found the noise got worse and worse so you should be ok if it has not happened since

Something tolook forwards to Tony .

The fan that went before was the Northbridge and there was no warning on that..the machine just wouldn't start

Garry

I think theats the same fan as mine so you will have the later version, so at least that should be ok now

Hopefully
