Good evening everyone from the still cold and snowy Arctic. Here's my dilemma I've had my 4080V for 13 months and suddenly last weekend (while I was at home) the notebook froze up (no Alaska jokes please 
). I figured what the hades and turned the notebook off and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. It took forever to boot up. As I work on desktop PC's I immediately suspected the memory, but the memory was fine. I knew heat had to be involved so I took a look see at the P4 3.2 GHz CPU and can you say scorched? I cleaned the dye off real well and put some AS5 on the processor and I also cleaned the heatsink and spread some AS5 on it and buffed it off and put it back together. Well it worked for about 20 minutes but then froze up (OK this is beginning to eat used kitty litter). I let it sit for an hour, turned it back on and the same old same old. 
Now I'm building a new PC for a client with a Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000PRO-G mobo, so I take the P4 out of the 4080V and place it in the Gigabyte board and very slow to say the least. I take the P4 3.4 GHz (meant for the Gigabyte) and place it in the 4080V and it boots like a charm (I just left in for a couple of minutes before removing it - it is now safely and successfully working in the Gigabyte). What I'm wondering now are what are my options? I was trying to find out if a Socket 478 Pentium M would work successfully in the 4080V and if it does I'd give that a shot. I'm now sort of gun shy about placing another P4 in there. I've heard the P M's run cooler.
In the mean time, because of the nature of my work, I purchased a new notebook (a Gateway 7426GX - which is awesome by the way), but I do not want to just discard the Sager. My wife has MS and if I can get the 4080V back up and running I think it would be a perfect addition for her.
Anybody have any suggestions or comments? Any assistance would be much appreciated.
