dead cpu?

[The Overclocker]

i have been away for a few days, i turn the computer on and it says ' your cpu may have a problem' it used to work before i went away, but it has allways had a chipped corner and this may have been agrvated

[Thelemac]

Your computer actually said that? What kind of motherboard do you have?

Man, my computer never tells me squat about my CPU. I'm jealuos! And I can't spell. :)

A talking computer. Whatever next?

Have you tried a known good CPU in it?

[Thelemac]

Does it fully boot, or does it stop when it tells you that your cpu might be having problems?

Hey, my motherboard will tell me the same thing, not with a voice but it does say that the chip may be damaged or messed with. Does it give you an option to just continue on? Try going in your bios and save and exit, don't change anything then see what it does.

not sure about that board but some boards have settings in bios to halt on errors --- generally selecting none will get rid of this

unfortunatly nothing is shown on the screen, i have tried to put this cpu in my brothers machine which a slocket but it dosn't work. DOH

Something like that happened to me some time ago when I, well, dropped a 2L bottle of water on my mobo. My mobo doesn´t speak ( I tried to teach her, to no effect. Man I wish it was a parrot :cool: ) , so I only got to know what happened the other day, when I managed to dry the mobo on my window. Turns out that it was the Slot1 that retained some water inside, so the computer wouldn´t work at all.

Fortunately, the CPU wan unharmed. I didn´t get to test it on other board because my brother didn´t want me fussing around with his working PC. But If you did it and it didn´t work, then it really seems that the chip is the problem.

Why don´t you test the chip that was on the other board on your Aopen to see if it´s ok ?
