    new setup, yellow screen!

    After talking to intel support, it was decided (I knew that already before I called) that the onboard vide is faulty. I get a replacement in the mail after they get the old one. Intel support charges $25 per incident but is refunded if you are issued an RMA number which is kind of a relief...

    new setup, yellow screen!

    :( Can't test on a different system 'cause the video is on-board. Intel support sucks, pay per incident and this is a new motherboard. I'm appealing an exchange to newegg since I bought this on 12/28/04 from newegg. *sigh* now I'm beating myself up for not installing it sooner.

    new setup, yellow screen!

    I just assembled a pc with new components. The computer screen where whites should be has a yellow tint to it. The monitor is good, tested it on another PC, no other peripherals hooked up. Even the command prompt and BIOS text are yellow! Anyone encounter this before?

    Is my CPU or Memory dead?

    Sooooo... I got a hold of a dinky PSU and swapped it with my old one. Hooked up just the bare essentials. It still craps out and reboots. Time to find the receipt for the CPU. Edit: Just got done talking to Intel support, I'm getting a replacement CPU when they receive my defective one.

    Is my CPU or Memory dead?

    I buy my stuff online but for troubleshooting purposes I'm willing to go to a brick and mortar store for obvious reasons.

    Is my CPU or Memory dead?

    Hello! I'm back again and with some hardware eliminated from the possible problem... Not heat problem, thermal paste did not help with the reboot loop. Not memory, I bought a stick and swapped it... same result. It's got a 350W power supply that's been working for a while, I'll have to go...

    Is my CPU or Memory dead?

    I'll post back when I get some thermal paste and some other hardware I can use to isolate the problem. Sorry I forgot to check the wattage on the darned PS.

    Is my CPU or Memory dead?

    I ran memtest86 for one cycle, took about 15 minutes from an unpowered state (cold). After running memtest, I checked hardware monitor and the CPU temp was at 114F, this is with the old thermal compound when I moved the CPU from the old motherboard to the new one. Also, wouldn't the CPU be...

    Is my CPU or Memory dead?

    I'll get facts when I get home later... Will POST memory test say anything if the memory stick has gone bad? I only have one stick of Corsair 512MB 333Mhz. CPU is retail Intel 2.4 using stock sink and fan. No thermal paste used (I have none available at the moment). I will also reset...

    Is my CPU or Memory dead?

    I dont have temp numbers right now but a PC that has not been on for hours shouldn't overheat or behave like that in less than 5 minutes after I installed a new motherboard. The power supply came stock with the case, 300W minimum.

    Is my CPU or Memory dead?

    I doubt it's a virus though. I had already unplugged the HD from the system and tried to boot from CD only but I get the same result. As soon as the system tries to load something, it just restarts.

    Is my CPU or Memory dead?

    Here's a little background info on my troubleshooting problem: P4, 2.4Ghz that had WinXP pro installed, 512MB memory. Out of the blue, the PC would reboot randomly. I started with safe mode to see if it will not do it anymore trying to rule out a bad driver... no go, still did it. I got a new...
