RE: Intel D815EEA, XP Home, 1.2Piii w/ Upgradeware adapter.

I am trying to isolate problems I've had where the computer either shuts 
down or BSOD, or won't start up.  I have swapped processors, swapped 
adapters (similar to powerleaps), swapped motherboards, swapped hard drive, 
swapped memory (straight 133's to low density), power supply, and cleared 
the BIOS

I am down to the only consistent thing left that may make sense.  I have not 
been plugging the processor fan into the processor fan connector on the 
motherboard.  I have been plugging it into the connector near the CD 
connectors.  The reason is because when using Intel's Active Monitor 
program, it can read from the connector and show the fans RPM's, which I 
like in case of fan failure.

BUT, is there something either with the software, or even hardware on the 
D815EEA that may cause shutdown if there isn't a fan connected to the 
processor fan connector?  That might make sense to me.

BTW, the Tualatin adaptor (Upgradeware and Powerleap) have both been tested 
to work on this motherboard using BIOS P10, which I have.  Emails to tech 
support have them stumped- it should work!

Thanks!
