RE: Computer problems.

["Frag_ Daddy" <frag_daddy_@hotmail.com>]

    I'm just wondering, now, but were you using a Voodoo 3, perhaps 
overclocked?  I was just messing around one day, and did this.  Actually, it 
was runs 143 mhz (I think) stock, and I had it running fine at 160 because 
that's not too much more.  Then, like I said, I was bored and came across 
that idea.  I overclocked the card several more times and just jumped up to 
240 mhz (no idea why I did that, but funny no less) and of course my 
computer just restarted because of the heat.  Each time I couldn't even get 
past the Windows loading screen, so I tried all sorts of solutions (didn't 
want to take the video card out) for cooling (including some liquid, big 
fans, etc.) which didn't work.  Finally, I used a vaccuum cleaner (and 
several fans) and just held it on, it worked and I could underclock it back 
to 160 mhz.

     I don't know why I'm telling you this; it's even off topic.
