    Are you sure the CPU is faulty? Rarely do CPUs fail. Typically the motherboard or some other component dies first.

    No.
    Even among the LS series, references to P!!! 350 to P!!! 500 is mentioned.

    Thank you all for your replies.
    In fact I had the laptop checked and I was informed that it is the CPU that has failed. The laptop just freezes after about five minutes. when I restart it I get no picture at all. Then if I leave it for a few mins and turn it on again it does the same freezing stuff after some five mins.
    It is a P3. 500 mgz. Any further suggestion will be welcome
    many thanks

    Using the same cooling mechanism? Maybe overheating.

    By the way, what does BTW stand for?

    It is better to be tried by 12, than carried by 6.
