MM: In the second article you reference, regarding overheating... there is this suggestion: Finally, make sure all your cooling fans work properly. A dying power-supply fan will make lots of noise when it's foundering, but a small CPU fan may not complain audibly--and if your CPU fan expires, the subsequent overheating can ruin your CPU.The BIOS for most Pentium II PCs monitors each fan's RPM and issues an error message if it drops to a dangerous level. Confirm that this feature is turned on in your CMOS setup program. Is there a way to check for this "feature" in Windows?... or do I have to reboot and go into "setup" during the boot process, as with the old DOS or Win 3.1 systems,...(I have Win98, PII, PC100). Even if I am in "setup", what am I looking for? TIA, JCC
