    CPU voltage set too high? Crap or misinstalled heatsink? No thermal paste between heatsink & CPU? Too much paste? 85C is definitely well out of bounds for a Pentium III.

    lol, reminds me of a guy who bought his pc to me today.
    It wouldn't power on - he didn't have the power switch connected.
    Still didn't power on - he had previously flipped the switch at the back of the psu to 130volts - fried his psu.
    I powered up with a spare psu - no keyboard detecting (hmmmm)

    Had a closer look at the motherboard and it was practically bent in half and was in direct contact with the case - no risers installed for the motherboard and all his ports were a bit out of place not to mention the board had as much concave as my skateboard.
    Reset and another few things not working properly.

    he bought an upgrade kit from komplett and didn't know how to put it together, configure his bios OR even install his bleedin OS!

    /me gets the pitchfork
