I disagree with you...

Harddisks shutdown for a long time because of inactivity... or they simply
keep on spinning for a long time...

And when they do spin up, they do so slowly... not abruptly.

Harddisks were designed by IBM.

We all know what happens when you try to take on IBM.

You go down burning in flames ! =D

Bye,
Skybuck.

In your other posting you said you slowed down the fan. Duh..

Default New Theory: AMD's CPU Throttling damaged the power supply.

Hello,

I have a new theory how the power supply got damaged:

AMD's X2 3800+ dual core processor has CPU Throttling.

I downloaded a special AMD Software tool called AMD Power Monitor or
something like that.

Which throttles back the CPU when it's idling... then when it needs to do
work the cpu is throttled up.

So on idle the processor will work at 1.0 volts... and then when it's busy
it will work on 2.0 volts... maybe even voltages between it.

These voltages fluctuations occur very rapidly.

Think of it like this:

You turn on the water... you turn off the water... then you turn it on
again... then you turn it off again.

If you do this at the right pace... the water in the tubes will start to
pound on the inner tubing... and sooner or later something is going to
break.

This is probably what is happening inside the electronics.

It will work for a while... but after one or two years of heavy usage...
kiss it goodbye !

Fluctuations in temperature seem to also cause problems for gpu's in
laptops...

Try doing that with your teeth fillings... ouch

Crappy hardware nowadays, me very sorry I bought this crap.

But it is powerfull and with some nice Skybuck experience and knowledge it
might work after all.

So I gotta find a new power supply... and leave the processor at always 2..0
volts to prevent any damage or temperature fluctuations.

Don't know what happens to gpu though... though the 7900 gtx seems to be
able to take quiet a beating... don't know about the components around it on
the motherboard though

You've been warned people =D

Bye,
* Skybuck.


The clock rate is throttled, not the supply voltage.

You don't need a new power supply. Your problem is caused by dark
electrons (as opposed to light(normal)) ones. You have to sequester the
dark electrons as they emerge from the power supply, this is done with an
electron trap. These devices are not widely known or available, but I can
sell you plans for an excellent unit.

Do you want to purchase a bridge? Anyway, its the dark matter/energy which
might hold a galaxy together that is the problem. Perhaps he need to sue
whoever is responsible for creating his brain. Sue parents or GOD? Humm...

You seem to have a lot of money. Do you work? Who would hire you? What
do you do?

I suspect mommy and daddy are paying for it as he has the prose of a
teenager.

Good point.

Slowing down and speeding up fans might lead to power fluctuations as
well...

However it doesn't happen so often.

And it happens rather gradually.

Skybuck.

You really think that a retard with such a writing ability is old enough
to work?

Sky**** is a Dutch ****** that probably even hasn't reached the age of
10. I'm pretty sure is parents are stupid enough to finance his
excursions into a world of idiocy.

The voltage goes up and down as well, at least on AMD processors.

Which probably influences the rest of the system too.

Bye,
Skybuck.
