Have been given a Philips Iqon PC and told if I can fix it I can keep it.
It has an ECS m/b and Celeron D 3.06 CPU.
Boots past the POST but shuts down before Windows starts. Watching the
hardware monitor in the BIOS CPU temp creeps up till it reaches the 85C
threshold then shuts down.
Fan's OK, have cleaned off old thermal compound and renewed it but no
difference.
Found out that someone had previously opened it and hoovered the dust out
but whether that was before or after the fault I don't know, also it was
obvious that the CPU had been removed because the h/s was not properly
fitted and an attempt had been made to replace thermal compound without
removing the old.
Question is is it a faulty m/b or CPU?
Should I play safe and replace both?
Replies appreciated.

And this purely hardware fault has WHAT to do with XP? Oh, right,
NOTHING.

Ask elsewhere
