Hi guys,
I'm an AMD man by and large, but someone gave me a P4 1.6 and D845WN board so I figured I might as well get them folding for Team 32!
Anyhow, I put it all in the case and switched on and not a lot happened, so I stripped down the CPU and HS and the socket had a couple of pins that look a bit brown, likewise the ones on the CPU.
I'm pretty sure it's blown, but I don't know whether it's the board or the CPU that's gone. When it's switched on now, everything spins up and the keyboard lights flash, but it shuts down after a couple of seconds and the display never initialises.
Anyone thats blown a P4 think this sounds familiar? Or does it sound like when your board went? I don't know which to replace first!
