I was working on a computer for a coworker, which happened to be a P4 dell, they have air duct in there systemes. Anyways the computer was shutting down after being on for x amount of seconds, so I figured that it was temperature related. I removed teh air duck to see that one of the clips had broken on the intel rentetion mechanism. The plastic where it hooks on broke off, so I then removed the heatsink, and found a piece of foil with a black (pad or thermal compound, not sure???) underneath the foil. My concerns are 1, is that foil suppose to be removed???? and furthermore... intel retention sockets are very weak! I can send pictures of the foil that was covering the thermal pad or compound.
