bluepeter75 aka (formerly) bluescreenpeter75: OK Dad, you can terminate that program and have at it. If you have any more problems, we'll...

OK, couple of ways to interpret this and we'll have to check a couple of settings. Thats a pretty intense little torture test so its possible we...
Yes ;)
bluepeter75 - don't get too comfortable with that alias ...... Based on the first 29 minutes, it looks like (with the current hardware...
Pete: Hot here too & we lost the upstairs air conditioning last night. Slept downstairs in the den. bluescreenpeter75 : OK, I know you are...
Can I assume this was before and not after your reformat and clean installation? Pete: A lot of socket A boards had 12V 4 pin connectors. Just...
