im glad my friends brother wants it though even after i told him about the problems hes like i still want!! so even with the random shutdowns and lockups i sould wait?

Keep in mind that this could be something other than your processor.

Random shutdowns mean one of two things to me, and neither of which is the processor unless you've been volting the crap out of it. A shutdown with the BSOD is a RAM problem, a shutdown without a BSOD is power supply.

If it IS the processor, and it's ALWAYS been at stock speeds, RMA the sucker and tell Intel that it's only stable with a significant voltage increase.

this is not on the intel this is on my amd and the proc has been overclocked and has seen verry high volts 2.02 so im 99.9% sure its the proc and the reason i started this thread is to see if i should tell my parents that my proc died so that they would give me my intel stuff

You shouldn't lie you know... it isn't socially acceptable and if you are religious most don't think it's a good thing to do.
