[CUBE] AW: [CUBE] Heat-whacked Cube prob

[Meirion Roscoe]

I had the same thing last summer.  we were doing some stuff in the 
cellar so my cube moved to the conservatory (sun-room for our 
transatlantic readers!).  We then had an unusually hot day for the UK 
and that evening, the whole thing had slowed to a crawl, took a week to 
boot up, and wouldn't run a single app worth talking about.  I got very 
worried, tried booting from the CD - took ages - no joy!  After I let 
cool down it was back to normal.  I screened the cube from direct 
sunlight after that.  Curiously, very soon after, I stuck in a 120GB WD 
HD and was so excited, I forgot to screen the cube; but even though 
we've had some stonkingly hot days (almost 65 DEG F! :-) since then, it 
never happened again.  Could it be that you're hard drive is on the way 
out and become a bit temp twitchy.  I am not an expert just a bumbling 
amateur, but I do know a tiny bit about hardware and heat just ain't 
good for 'em!

Hope this helps
