| By your description, it's a heat issue. Either the heat sink or fan isn't working properly, or the processor is getting ready to go. The fact that the fan is noisy could mean it's not providing proper cooling. Personally, I'd trade it in for something other than a Compaq (i.e. Dell, Toshiba, Gateway, Apple - ANYTHING but a Compaq). Compaq has a very poor reputation due to problems such as this. ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 1800 - P4 1.8gz, 512mb RAM, ATi Radeon 8500; SB Live Value; Windows XP Professional, Photoshop CS, Nikon D2Hs and D100 |
