On desktop P4 computers aged anywhere from 2-5 years old. I've opened up the case to find the motherboad in perfect conditon, free of dust etc but the mini-heatsink on the board (Northbridge chip I think?) would be extremely hot.
The systems would freeze continually because of this.
What causes these "mini-heatsinks" to malfunction and is there any solution?
