Ah Russie-pooh, can't you tell when someone's kidding arround.
Still I bet there's nothing wrong with that CPU. Did he fiddle with the BIOS settings (the RAM settings for instance), using the scientific method of trial & error? Or tried different chipset drivers? Or tried disabling DMA mode in the device manager? Not that that would probably make any more than buggerall difference. Did he try hooking up another powersupply - maybe the 3.3v output (useally the orange wire) is a bit low, SDRAM doesnt like that. But it can takes many days 'n nights of re-booting to find the problem. Unless one is lucky, it can often take many, many re-boots before finding what the problem is.
"Why do you always insist on puking all over yourself. You don't know jack about technology, so why don't you stick to talking about how wonderful the commie system is on that little prison island you call home."
Ah, Russucker, is talking out of his arse again. Now how do you know I "Don't know jack about technology", when you don't know anything about me or the jobs I've had, or how I spend my time (not all of us spend our time posting a 1000 posts a month on Anandtech). Well I'll tell you something I spent 2 years (on & off) working for at a dyno tuning place, wiring up & designing & modding Haltech & Motech Electronic fuel injection installations for modded Carby era Streetcars & Yamaha Supercarts, plus I've completely rewired a few cars, building completly new wiring harnesses in the process. PC's are like leggo kits in comparison. Speaking of which, over the last 3 years I've developed a little sideline building systems for local businesses, included a couple of whole networks, which works out at arround 30+ systems so I've got the trial 'n error routine downpat. Maybe I'm biased (or lucky) as in those 30+ systems I've never once got a dud CPU, & the bloke at the local computer warehouse said that whenever he gets someone returning a 'Dud' CPU he just swaps it & resells the dud & he's yet to have a comeback, because in his 15 years he's only come across a couple of real CPU duds at the most. He reckons that useally what happens is that either people don't know what they are doing or that they just don't have the patience to spend all night fiddling, adjusting, loading & rebooting, every 5 minutes, till they find out what's going on.
Maybe you should follow your own advice Russiebabe, & should stop posting on topics about the world, because have you actually been anywhere else other that the US, the only country where 1 in 4 people beleive in creationism as taught in the bible (sounds like you sought of place). Your a typical failed politician in that you like to get your word in on every subject, yet somehow always does it without really saying anything. BTW, whats this "commie system" you're talking about the only Commies I know about in Oz are some badge engineered 2-stroke vans that were imported from Asia many, many years ago (basically re-badged Suzukis), no I'm not talking about Combies or Commers, but maybe you are.
