Recently, my fan has been making the most god-awful noise.

So, I ordered a new fan (Socket 7 370 pin)....

The problem is this, the processor is stuck to the fan!
I can get the fan and processor out, but they come out together and don't come apart....What needs to be done?
It is the family's system, so I don't know much about it. How do you seperate them?

So sick

It an OEM system? sounds like either the material they used has gone solid, or they used epoxy like compaq ect. tend to do.

Have you tried doing it after the system has been running a while and the heatsink is still warm?

I know some people wrap thier video cards in plastic (the static free bags not normal ones ) and freeze it for a few minutes to weaken the epoxy, but I don't know if I'd recommend that.
