Not to long ago I pulled the heatsink/fan off my cpu to clean.
Not to hard to remove, had 4 tabs that quarter turned and pulled up to release.
The trouble cam when I went to replace it. If it wasent sitting just exactly so on the cpu the machine would cut off in a matter of seconds. Took me quite a while checking that everything was plugged in the right place etc. before I realized it was that the heatsink was not seated properly.
So just a word of warning.
