New PC build periodically shuts down

So does she fly or does she sink

Well actually if you seen inside my shed you would probably realise nothing gets thrown out in a hurry cause you know what happens the week after you throw something out.

Marty, might be time to remove the CPU and clean the top surface then google the part number. If its definitely an AM3 CPU you could send it to me and I'll stick it in my AM3 board to test.

Many thanks Mick
It appears to be AM3

Thanks Marty

honestly marty, by the time you F around
order a new am3 moby, cpu, 2 gb ddr3
cost you $120 delivered
then you can test your old bits

[marty 17]

You may be right Phil but I have decided to go this way and if the CPU is ok I shall then have the option of buying a new MOBO and using the ram I got in the original deal as it is OK.

If the CPU is stuffed I may can the project which was only a learning exercise anyway.

Cheers Marty

These last 2 posts show just how 2 intelligent human beings go about things so differently.
And I reckon there is more than half a chance that at least 1 item in Marty17 shed was owned by philquad at some stage.

[marty 17]

Thanks for your kind offer mickstv and I have posted the item to you.
Cheers Marty
