Yeah... it happened out of no where..
Machine wouldn't start, and had an orange power light instead of green, opened the case, removed and re-placed some parts to guess and check. Then examined the motherboard, the outcome is below...
This was 1 of the 2 dells that I have repaired back in April this year... Made a blog post about it after replacing the several motherboard capacitors (http://eric.artician.com/blog/2008/04/Replacing-Motherboard-Capacitors/)
Anyway, I inserted custom fans into these cases to help with the overheating issue. The ubuntu machine was the one which had stronger airflow than the other case, and didn't seem to do much since the Southbridge Chipset had now fried. Take a look at the pictures below...you will see a white hole in the chipset, I'm assuming this was the reason for the machine no longer booting up. Oh well....

While Mint connects to over 5,000 US banks and credit unions, credit card, brokerage, and mutual fund companies, it still lacks support for CitizensBank.com (The primary Citizens Bank website). Many users have tried to communicate their efforts, and frustrations to Mint’s staff about supporting Citizens bank, yet still, over a span of one year, we have failed to see support for Citizens Bank. Thousands are left stranded trying to use other personal financial organization tools, but we all know deep down that we all just want to use mint, forever.
The following petition will show Mint staff how sincere we are about using Mint. Please show your support as we, Citizens’ bankers, have been waiting patiently for a very long time, and will continue to wait, as long as we know Mint’s staff even notices that...
We REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to use mint...
