Heh - I had one over the weekend. Sorting out my Dad's computer, IDE cable got
in the way of the CPU fan and I didn't notice until it started a reset loop.
It took a couple of minutes before it cooled down enough for the motherboard
to be willing/able to report the CPU temperature - apparently it can't report
temperatures over 99 degrees C. Amazing thing it, it still works!
Cup of tea, anyone? :P
I had a system do a similar thing cause the fan get it's power via the
disk drive power cables, and if the wires are put in a certain position,
the fan quits working. At any rate, when I rebooted, i got a "Power
Managemenr failure" from the BIOS, checking it out revealed that the CPU
was roasting at a good 253 degrees, while running. Luckly it didn't break.
