I checked and I don't have access to any other hardware group that isn't
dead.


Your question is very welcome here, except by one brain dead school kid who
has never contributed anything useful. Do yourself a favour and killfile
the little turd.

Dell Dimension 8200. Been a nice quiet computer for 6 years. A few days
ago, when I was out, I'm told fan that cools CPU decided to start
blowing furiously. Then I'm told computer shut itself down.

I didn't find any thermal messages in system log. Computer boots and
runs, but fan blows furiously the moment I push the power button to turn
it on.

Ran Dell Diagnostics. It passed all tests. But there wasn't a test for
the fan.

If it was a thermal problem, something getting hot, wouldn't it take at
least a few seconds for something to get hot to trigger the fan? But
this fan blows furiously the moment I turn on the computer.

Could it be a faulty temperature sensor somewhere? I wonder where the
temperature sensor is. Is it built into the CPU itself?
What does this have to do with the OS? NOTHING. This is a purely
hardware related question and is out of place in THIS group.

Ask elsewhere


And yet even YOU can't deny that this question has absolutely NOTHING
to do with XP OS, which is what the group is about (see that word in
the title?). So you back into your corner snarling and calling me
names instead. THAT is the action of a juvenile. I don't pull my
punches and, to use a common phrase, call a spade a spade. If you
would open your eyes and use your brain you woud realize these posts I
complain about are off topic but you choose to turn a blind eye to it.
Go ahead, live in your own little world where you follow only the
rules YOU decide are correct, and to hell with the rest of society.

I tremble at the thought of your response.

Oh, and the reply goes down HERE, top poster. That's one more little
polite rule of USENET netiquette you don't obey.
