Well.. i might be fries, i honetly don't know what happened.
I have a Athlon 64 and they are known to have overheating issues and my fan failed and i felt my heatsink and it was.. well.. really hot. But today (about 20 mins ago) i turned my computer on, and she works, as i am on it right now. I looked at my Processor when i thought i fried it, and... well.. it looked fine, but idk what a fried... like... 200 bit per CM^2 looks like. so.. yah.. i might be back, idk if my computer will even turn on tommorow (i'm backing my projects up)
I am pretty sure that some processors have an auto shut off thing built into them when they get too hot. If your case is dusty you should clean it out. Make sure you are getting enough cooling inside.
Modern CPUs are designed to shut down before damage is caused.
Yanking a heatsink off a Pentium 3 or Pentium 4 (provided you don't damage the heatsink mounting bracket, and you don't crush the CPU core) won't result in damage. A Pentium 3 will trip the thermal diode and halt the system. A Pentium 4 will scale back its clock frequency to nearly zero, operating safely at just a few megahertz.
Athlon XP/MP and before begin smoking and burning in the same situation, but Athlon 64/Opteron processors also have proper thermal throttling capabilities.
It sounds like you just need a replacement heatsink.
Well.......omg i got too many cuts to bother......but *sigh*

You know im stabbing all these clothes with them on right?

How did you fry it..?

The sentinel data is safe.

I'd murder you then shit down your throat.
