Prius Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) Alright, here's whats up. I bought this processor on Wednesday. It came on Thursday. I bought the CPU that Terry told me to buy. Then I installed on Thursday, and it worked.........kinda. It said that I had a Core 2 Quad installed. I even went onto vent and talked to Monkey with my new Quad Core. Then while I was talking to him and then all the sudden, my computer froze, picture and everything. Fast Forward today! I called Asus and Intel today. Intel said "Clear your CMOS" Asus said the same thing. We did that, and it worked for like a while, then it froze again. But this time, after it froze, it turned off my computer completely. Then I asked my friend and he either said its my PSU or it's a DOA (Dead On Arrival) Processor now : Intel Pentium D 3.40 GHZ PSU: 600 W Mobo: Asus P5N D Memory: 4GB's Graphics card: GTX 260 I know its not my Mobo or graphics card because they run fine when I put my old Pentium D in. Halp! Thanks in advance who ever replies <3 Prius Edited March 20, 2010 by Prius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeman Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 perhaps the cpu isn't being recognized by your mobo? flash your mobo(DO NOT FUCK UP ON THIS!!!!) and update it with the most recent drivers. if not cpu is DOA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TÆSTR Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 What is the power requirement for your CPU? Is it overclocked to 3.4? If so, what is the voltage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I going into the bios, it says Intel Core 2 Quad 9550 I hate DOAs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apt. 2B Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Your CPU is stock at 2.83GHzLower your OC rate until it stabilizes... His current CPU is running at 3.4GHz. Not the new CPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaMigra Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Well if you updated the BIOS and it still acting up my only guess has to be DOA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredTacos Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 If its working on bootup it's not DOA, doa usually will not turn on at all. What are your CPU temps in the bios once its up an running? Also what PSU are you using? Working on my car right now, will try to check up on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotblunt Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 when you put the heatsync on the cpu did it seed correctly? 90% of new intel cpu/headsync have the proper amount of thermal grease already applied.. you did nto add extra did you? *too much is a very bad thing* did you take the time while you had your case open to clean out all the dust?

Yes, I cleaned out the dust. And yes, I added thermal paste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredTacos Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 So thermaltake psu, k temps? If temps are good, my suggestion is to get another PSU from a local store, test it and see if still crashes and return if it does to eliminate the PSU being the problem.

Never trust a hippie Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Yes, I cleaned out the dust. And yes, I added thermal paste. you added thermal paste? Are you sure it wasn't pasted already? I thought most heatsinks are.. It just looks grey at the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredTacos Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Same Wat? 600 or higher? Same watt is fine, 600 is more than enough if its a good PSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
