My computer is dead. I did a major overhaul on my system; motherboard, processor, memory, hard drive, the works. I get it all together, go to power it on and it immediately shuts off. I check the POST code and lo and behold, defective CPU. I COULD put the old parts back in but it would be a complete teardown and rebuild to put it back again and there’s no guarantee it would work right because I don’t remember the ports and slots I used in the original configuration. I don’t want to risk damaging anything in the process either.


I’m computerless and it’s really messing with me…

UPDATE: She lives! On a whim, I tried swapping out the motherboard and sure enough, it booted right up. I’m rather fortunate I live only 10 minutes away from a Fry’s so I could try it out.
