Strangest problem i have ever encountered

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: Hades99999

My roomate is having the craziest error. Last week i borrowed his processor and when i put it back in his computer is stopped working. Later on that nite the processor fried we think from a poorly installed shim. Since then he has bought a new XP 1700. He is running an ASUS A7V226-E MB. We are currently booting with only CPU, RAM and vid card. The MB beeps on no ram but does not beep on no vid card. The vid card is a Radeon 7200. The ram is tested in another system and another power supply was brought in. If anyone has any sort of suggestion on what the problem could be, please respond, we are at our wits end.

Are you sure the old CPU is fried and not the motherboard?
