My friend called me up saying he was building a new computer and he wanted my help. I told him I'll stop by in an hour and said read the manual because it's pretty much straight forward. His specs
asus p4p800 dlx
p4 3ghz
1gb ram
9800 pro with arctic cooling rev 3
I get there and the cdrom isn't spinning nor the hard drive, but the cpu fan is. First I think its his psu because it was only 300w and I thought it was under powered. We go get a new psu install it and still nothing. I take everything apart and i check the cpu and noticed that it was in the wrong way. The gold pin was on the lower right hand corner instead of the upper right, but he said he didnt smell or hear any popping and the cpu looked fine.
we go out to get a new mobo to see if that works and it does not. tired new vid card and monitor and still nothing which leaves me to believe that its a burned cpu. I can't think of anything else...any ideas?
Thanks
