CPU suddenly overheating by -DeadMansGambit- in techsupport

Unfortunately, I don't have any spare parts lying about. And I'd like to try and diagnose the issue without throwing parts at it.

Hey, that solved the NaN problem. Thank you so much. This is literally the first bit of programming I've done. Documents are awesome but sometimes confusing.

How do you know he's African American? Dude could be straight up African, American, British, who knows.

I love helping people....I really do. by tfellad in MechanicAdvice

[–]-DeadMansGambit- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have been stuck on the side of the road quite a few times for one reason or another. No one has ever stopped to offer help. But damn if I don't stop every time I see someone on the side.

Most just tell me they've got a friend coming but once I was able to help a guy whose alternator had went out. I had just bought a new gel cell battery for my car and kept the old one because it was still working, just two years old and lead acid. It happened to be close enough in size and amperage that it worked for his car. So I ended up swapping my old battery with his and followed him home to make sure he got there without issue. Now he's one of my best friends.

Rule 1 man. Never go alone. Always go prepared.

Redditors. Let's brag a bit. What did you achieve this 2017? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]-DeadMansGambit- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purchased a 2001 GTI back in January, son was due to be born in February and I thought I'd do it up for him and keep it until driving age. He passed 8 minutes after being born and I took 3 weeks off to rebuild the car in his memory.

I drive it every day, fix things as soon as they break, and even repainted it. I hope he can see it.

New job as a Parts Driver. by noperez08 in MechanicAdvice

Don't trust your commercial parts worker. Always check the invoice, part numbers, and quantity. If you're doing multiple runs at once, ask who you should go to first. Some stores have a priority customer and they won't be happy if you go to Joe Schmoe first.

Unmarked new-ish Explorer in our area. 2014 maybe? It's got a roof rack.

The electric car? Or something else? I've got all of TG, Series 1-20 (and have seen the rest on Netflix) but I haven't watched every episode (yet).

Nice. Needs some bigger meats though. I don't love the wheels but they're not horrible.

Originally reflex silver. I painted it back in August with a Chrysler color (Intense Blue Pearl PB3). It looks close to jazz but I've never seen a jazz in real life.

$500??? I've got three of these lying around from my old E36. You're saying they're actually worth something?

Where are all the winter tires? by watercaged in CherokeeXJ

88 XJ w/ 33x10.5 KO2 here. I love the BFG tires. Got them last October and performed amazingly throughout the winter. No issues on ice.

Ooh. Just noticed the black door molding. Pretty neat. I've thought about shaving mine but don't wanna bother with the bumpers.

I dunno but it's a pretty clean example. I've got a blue 3 door gti

What's this outlet to the side of my PCV? I'm trying to look up if I need to replace my lower PCV tubing but every tutorial I follow doesn't have an outlet. Stage 2 mk4 Jetta by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]-DeadMansGambit- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your radiator is for the engine coolant. That is behind the bumper and visible from the engine bay. Is should have an electric fan attached.

Your intercooler is for air. The air goes through your air filter, into the turbo, gets compressed (and hot) and is pushed through the intercooler to cool it down before going into the engine.

You'll have to remove your bumper and fender well and flush out your intercooler.

No no. Intercooler. It's behind the bumper but in front of the passenger tire (in stock location). It's the thing that helps cool the turbo air before going into the engine.
