Re: even before PFY

A friend had a new-ish desktop PC that was rebooting itself intermittently in the middle of her word processing. She brought it to me - and reproduced the problem. When I burnt my hand on the cpu heatsink I realised that the fan was stalled by a badly fitted disk cable. The fan was dead - but jury rigging a larger one from the spares box fixed the problem.
