can someone look at this?

[steve]

this is my sisoft report:
it reckons the cpu fan is busted. ive just stuck the entire comp into a new
case (thermaltake) and now i have this problem. the cpu doesnt seem
overheated, in fact the heat sink seems quite cool to me by touch.
any ideas?
it also says "PCI latency too high."
no idea what that means or how to fix it....

cheers

this is my sisoft report:

I see the problem already...

Sisoft Sandra.

Do not run it then look for problems, as it will give false negatives.

Use Sandra to compare benchmarks if necessary, but otherwise ignore it.
