Title: Processor help
Post by: Gatsu on March 17, 2007, 07:07:54 PM

 >:( Hi all, ok so here is the deal, my video card has jus started on fire :P this is my 3rd one so far. i replaced the motherboard, the ram, and power supply so they are all brand new, but im thinking its my processor is wiggin out on me somehow. Ive had minor promblems with it like crashing for no reasons. and i had to buy a new cpu fan too cause it kept saying the fan was to slow even though it wasnt, and the processor was over heating somehow. got any ideas besides buy a new processor cause that what im about to do.
