I had a similar experience with one of my servers. It has a desktop motherboard and desktop video card. The fan on the video card was the first to go, so I replaced it with a fanless video card. The next to start acting up was the chipset fan. I don't know what it is with chipset fans, but they suck and are a pain in the ass to swap out. Zalman makes a big blue heat sink (ZM-NB47J) for chipsets and they are great. You can get them from Newegg for $5. -Chris Steve Cayford wrote: > I had to move a couple servers from one building to another and now one > of the machines will not boot up.
