P4SD - case 8SZ

[MXM]

hey, wel this is another p4sd from other hp d530 sff.... this has become really weird, ive been workin on it for last three days and just until i found this particular order of addind devcies is when i found a pattern of this one...

it boots everytime UNLESS i clip and secure the CPU Fan.....

any ideas?? sounds pretty weird to me ....

so that was kinda of the thing i would let for the first or last, but i'd always add the fan and lock it, so i chose not to lock it and voila, it boots... i know i can go around and find a homemade lock or whatever, but, thats not the point... so i order to go pass the POST i just add the fan but dont lock it, and it works Ok... im not forcing the cpu because of the same lack of pressure but it gets to the OS and wel, boots.

Took me all day today to make sure the patter was right and it all seems to me like it is what it is

if any1 could point me out towards this case, it will be very appreciated.

Thanks.

peace.

Re: P4SD - case 8SZ

i didnt find the "edit" button, so.... i decided to try out and lock it with the minimun pressure and see if it boots... it did but when it made it to the OS i had a BSOD, with the following info that i have found not much about

STOP C000021a
Following state: 0xc0000005 (0x0, 0x0)

those in the parenthesis had more zeroes but they were just zeroes :P

any idea???

Thanks
