I was sitting here minding my bussiness trying to fix my brothers computer and all of a sudden I heard this "click" from my computer. About 3 seconds latter I started smelling that smell that amds like to make as they are about to fry. In vain I attempted to shut the power off but it was too late; my good old faithful 1.2 athlon is dead.
Turns out the stupid heatsink fell off on me. I am using a volcano 11 and the clip was secure as could be when I reinstalled it just yesterday.
Anyway its time to buy a new cpu and probably a mb too cause I am using an shuttle ak11.
The moral of the story is this: Always make sure your heatsinks are secure and if you ever hear a funny noise run (dont walk) to shut off that power!
