I have no problem granting Greybeard an extra day or two.

It gave me the time to catch up on the in-game story.

But seriously, I can empathize with Greybeards situation.

Not only is there the aggravation of getting the computer up and running, but it messes up his PBW games.

Aaarrrrggghhhhh!!!!!

I have had my computer for less than two years.

Within 4 months of getting it, the CPU fan went.

Within a year, the fan on the video card went.

Both were on warranty. But I didn't get my computer back for 3 weeks and 2 weeks respectively.

Now, my CPU fan is going again(vibrating, noise).

The CPU fans are good fans (ball bearings not sleeves etc.)

Tried a couple of places to buy a replacement, don't have the same size amps/amps. Smaller fans but not my size.

Did buy a CPU fan with double the amp/wattage of the one I have. It is actually a case fan but I can install it as a CPU fan.

I now have a problem with the screws, as the new fan is twice as thick. And no one has the longer screws.

Will have to make do with different type of screws.

My computer sounds like a tractor under load.

Should have it fixed by tomorrow, so shouldn't miss any turns.

Didn't have this problem with all the Macs I bought in 20 years!

Greybeard, I certainly empathize with you.

RE: Fan Life,
I have a friend with a lot of cats. Her fans have a use life of about 9 months.
I'd suggest rigging up a filter of some sort if you think that might be the issue.

Actually, I don't have a cat. Or a dog.

But I do have a cockatoo parrot which sheds a white powder which is something like talcum powder.

Don't think that is the problem. Or is it?

What kind of computer is it? I have had fan problems in the past, but it is related to the amount of dust they have to eat.

I should be up and running tonight. Had a terrible weekend and wasn't able to get my computer working. To those who waited for me, thanks. Greybeard
