From: NYTELTECH on 14 Jan 2008 20:27 honestly, I don't beleive that I do which is why I opened it to allow more ventilation, since I don't have enough room for all the fans the M/B provides for. I have the CPU fan, a North Bridge fan, a system fan, and 2 of the aux fans -- they are all the same size -- same as CPU fan. Sorry, I don't know the dimensions (60mm) maybe.

From: NYTELTECH on 14 Jan 2008 20:40 You know, I've been thinking since my last post. Suppose it IS heat. would it cause multiple / random stop errors? Also, and the reason why I didn't include this earlier, why would I have the same problem on another PC that has never been networked with my desktop? The only thing in common between this laptop (IBM Lenovo T60) and my desktop, was using the same internet connection (cable modem) I did not have a router to network them, and don't want to. I use this laptop with dial-up. The only thing I have to say is that this laptop is more stable -- but the problems ARE the same, nonetheless. I don't want to seem ungrateful, but as I stated in one of my earlier posts, I DO have good troubleshooting skills, and I have researched this... I just don't have any other options.

From: Colin Barnhorst on 14 Jan 2008 20:45 Yes, heat would cause random stop errors. I used at least three case fans with all my Pentium 4 machines, especially with Prescotts. Yours is even more powerful than those. Use 80mm fans. 120mm fans are too noisy.

Like I said, I really appreciate all the suggestions, and I will get the fans I need. If you would recommend a case, I will order it tomorrow. It's just that there were so many when I searched and I don't know enough about cases and whether pricing is a factor in making that decision. Please don't suggest a 500 case with liquid cooling and all that, LOL. But the question still remains...Why is my laptop experiencing shutdowns?
