Hey all,

Firstly I hope everyone is geared and ready to have a great time over the holiday period whatever you're planning. 

Secondly, I've removed and replaced the fan, replaced the goo with some new Arctic Silver 5, cleaned all the dust out and it is still switching off after about 3-4 minutes.  Pretty much the length of time to load everything.  Is it something else?

Any pointers to fix this would make my Christmas, so if there is a Mr/Mrs/Ms Santa Claus out there with some ideas to fix this please post a reply here.

Many thanks!
Sorry... Its an MSI CR620.  Replacement fan was of the same type.

thanks!

Forgot to say its running win7  How are you monitoring your temps...and what are they ? ?

I suspect the new fan isn't fully seated...
hey Patio,

I haven't managed to use anything yet.  BUT I've checked the fan and seems to be placed okay.  It's stayed on and I uninstalled the anti-virus to install a new one.  The system for some reason wouldn't boot up or use it's own windows files to fix the problem.

Getting a 0x8007025D error.  I've USED diskpart and convert to mbr to fix the issues.  So, now I can just sit it there and it will run but no OS.  Will try again tomorrow.  I use speccy.  Gives me a GOOD overview of everything.  I should probably close this as it did switch off on my bed but constricted airwaves probably caused that and NEVER switched off again when I powered on.  Could probably close this one I think and maybe open new thread for 0x8007025D error.

Thanks for replying!!

I probably never gave it enough time after I CHANGED the fan and thermal paste.  I'll post the 0x8007025D in a different thread I've closed this off as resolved.  Cheers mate!
