I did discharge my static...
And you know that it is cpu how? If it was your cpu it most likely wouldnt work at all... Sounds more like PSU, Memory, GPU, or Mobo....You know what's a problem now? My CPU died, i was re-applying paste and now i can barely get into the bios, sometimes i get no signal on the monitor...
Change of plans buzz, I need a decent dual core now... what do you recommend thats less than $120?
I'll buy something off you one day! Promise! They bought it online so it should be here next week.
Try the cpu in your brothers machine, it really sounds to me like cpu is fine though. Also check your CPU power connector and cpu fan, as well as remounting the heatsink(sounds like it could be overheating as well)Because I only took out the processor... Last night i turned it on after re-applying AS-5 and i got no video. This morning the BIOS actually showed up.. it posted... then locked up... i did get into the BIOS one time, moved to the next tab, and it locked up. Is it possible i only damaged the CPU? with a small amount of static?
I dont have the little beeper plugged into the mobo so it might be beeping at me and i woldnt know it.
I did try clearing the CMOS, nothing. And my parents just told me they bought me a new cpu for xmas already
It's an E6300... so sorry buzz
It's a shame, my brother was finally going to get a dualcore when i upgraded.. now he's stuck on his P4 even longer.
On the brightside, I heard people can get these E6300's to 4ghz and higher!

Tried remounting heatsink... brother wont let me inside his computer. can sometimes move around the bios.. maybe 4 options away and it hangs.
I'll remount the heatsink one more time.. third time's the charm (hopefully!)
Oh, and the E6300 i'm getting is the 2.8ghz, 45nm one.
EDIT: computer is booting now... Reseated HSF and using 1 stick of memory for now. I think my RAM has issues when all 4 slots are used.
Stuck the rest of the memory in. It boots fine, everything overclocked and all.
Seems to be a supply problem with the XFX 250's at the mo, I can get the 240 and 260, and any other brand of 250, but no ETA for the XFX. I'll be making a few calls in the new year, so I'll find out what's going on
