VoidStar Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Got a D915GEV motherboard and it works great and runs cool! When there is no activity it goes to sleep. The drive goes off and the screen fades a bit. It wakes up again after about 5 minutes for some reason... It did this over and over for about 2 hours. During this time it got hotter and hotter until it shut down due to a "thermal event". I powered it up and smoke! The board was toast! Anyone having any issues with the D915GEV and sleeping?

domino Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Man, your a lucky one. I would love to see smoke come out of my box. But that means a 400$ Shuttle board and case down the crapper. Are you sure it's the chipper? Intel chips usually have a thermal protection system so that even without an HSF it would work. Once it overheats, it will just shut down until next boot. I have tried it on an P4 2.4 and no smoke. I would RMA everything as soon as possible so you can run Mac again Sorry for your bad experience.
