    I was cleanning me fan and the cpu area, when I turned the pc back on the fan goes full wack and in turn the cpu overheats, then the pc cuts out.

    I read somewhere I need to get artic silver or something smiliar to go between the cpu and the cooling fins? Sorry if the names for the parts arent right.

    Thanks in advance

    no probs mate, just remember to do not apply too much of the paste on the cpu ... put only thin layer all over the top mean part of cpu which has contact with heatsink

    Got it sorted, €28 all in with some cleaner I HAD to have, its working now and I suppose I was done with the price, but then again what would some pc expert have charged.

    Again thanks for the help!!
