Not a bad idea swapping CPU's for a troubleshoot. Let's hope your luck doesn't completely suck, and the board is bad, and fries your good CPU. It happens.
In fact, I have two motherboards and CPU's that are now only good for Frisbees because of that very thing.
Yeah, I think I'm going to hold off on that until tomorrow. I've got a ton of work to do, and have put it off to try and get this thing running. I'll post back tomorrow after I swap the CPUs.
Okie dokie. I check in here every day, so just give a shout out if you need some help.
Turns out it is the processor, so I'm going to have to wait a little over a month to fix that. Thanks for all your help MadMax. +rep
Damn!!!!!
Sorry to hear that, Bro. Need me to write up a eulogy, since there has been a death in the family?
Man I hate it when the CPU takes a crap. Your welcome for the help. I enjoy it.
By the way, did your other CPU fire up in your new board? Just curious if that's how you diagnosed it.
Yep, the other CPU fired up just fine. As for the eulogy...not really necessary. It was a Q6600, so it was probably about time to get an upgrade anyway.
I'm sorry to hear it was the CPU; but I'm glad you got it diagnosed. Now is the time for a good upgrade.
