First time I have truely lost a personal computer (PC).

Most likely cause of death: Too much CPU thermal paste interface material (Artic Silver 5) short circuiting the CPU pins damaging the processor.

Second likely cause of death: CPU Overheat due to CPU Ventilator failure.

Third likely cause of death: CPU metal pin contact oxidation. (It was a warm year)

Fourth likely cause of death: Power supply anomaly

Autopsy: Beep failure on both motherboards.

Last processing task: Windows 7 Ultimate + VM Workstation 8.X(5?) + Windows XP

Bye for now,
Skybuck.
