    My heatsink broke a clip and my XP Athlon chip desoldered itself from the ceramic die immediately after the heatsink came loose. Then the ceramic die snapped in half in the ZIF. I took it out replaced the chip and bought a new heatsink and fan. Then when I restarted the machine, I got the "Evaluation period for this copy of windows has ended. Windows cannot start." I imagine this was the result of having to reset the bios in order for the mobo to take the new chip.

    I'm getting messages on two of my client machines reporting that the WHS trial period has expired. This RC1 was a clean install on a brand new hard drive. The clients on the client machine were uninstalled, and the RC1 clients installed there.
