I bought a new AMD Duron 1.2Ghx processor and correct motherboard to support it.
After being told in the store that everything I wanted to buy was out of stock, and so as usual had to pay more than expected. By the time he told me I needed to spend another £15 ($20) on a fan I told him where to go!
As a result, my old fan wasn't strong enough and so the CPU has appeared to have burnt out.
What I need to know, is that is it usual for a CPU to burn out within seconds if it doesn't have sufficient coolent. I have now bought a new fan, and will buy a replacement CPU, but need to be sure it was the fan that caused it to die!
Please help!
