Long story short: I built a Core 2 Gaming rig, but as I was applying thermal grease on my proc my finger slipped and I touched the bottom. My BIOS and Windows recognised the proc fine and I thought I might have lucked out. Unfortunately, I get the message "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000006)" whenever Autorun is supposed to start for my driver CD and the messages "Only Part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed" and "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error" when the VGA driver CD autoruns and when I try to install catalyst respectively.

I replaced the processor with an e6300 and am now experiencing the same problem. That almost definitely rules out a processor problem. Could it be an issue with my Optical or hard Drive? If so I may yet be able to return the replacement processor if I identify the problem within a day or so.

Thanks in advance.
 
LGA 775 Procs have pins on the mobo, so I didn't touch any pins. But the manual explicitly states that you should not touch the bottom of the processor.
 
I installed Windows on this optical drive though, and I haven't unplugged anything since. I should hope nothing came loose. I'll check though.
 
Alas I cannot: Trying to manually install drivers results in results in the generic this program cannot continue, the request could not be performed... I/O device error. or the ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request errors.

I think my problem is my optical drive, but am loathe to send back the 63 if i may need it again later (and thus pay for it again).
 
It almost sounds more like a ram problem. You should probrably run memtest86 and see if any problems come up.
 
I don't know what it is. I bought another optical drive and experienced the same problem. Prime95, however, runs fine even in the RAM test mode. I haven't tried Memtest. Just to further clarify that it is NOT an error with my optical drives: How many connectors should there be for an IDE Optical drive?
Currently I have the ribbon cable and the PSU power cable; anything I'm missing?
 
wow sound serious...i also think it could be ram..check all cables again ...take out and put back in the ram...see if that works
 
I'll try that. On another note: Is my optical drive installed correctly? I ask again: how many connectors is it supposed to have with the MoBo/PSU?
 
Yeah, there's a big ribbon cable and a 4-pin power connector attatched. The ribbon says "CD-ROM" on it, and 42-pins sounds about right.
