Re: abit boot problems

Problem solved,

the cooling unit of the cpu wasn't properly connected.
Johan connected it and the pc boots.

At this moment i have a question:

what is a normal operation temperature for a cpu?

thank you for your reaction.

greetings Marco

"normal" depends on the cpu. P3's likes to be in the upper 20's to low 40's
(Centigrade) and of course, cooler is always better. P4's on the other hand
run a fair bit warmer reaching the 60 degree mark or low 60's under a load
and mid 40's at idle. those temps are typical and there are variations, of
course. I only ran one AMD, an XP 1800+ and it ran much like a P3 for me...
