So this is what I had...dell dimension 4500, 2 ghz cpu. So I got tired of it taking 20 seconds to even recognize that I had clicked something. So I bought a new cpu, new ram, new case, and new motherboard. CPU is pentium d 940, 3.2 ghz. ram is 1 gb pc4200 ddr2 by rendition, case is Power Up Black Corporate ATX Case w/450w PSU, and motherboard is biostar P4M800 Pro M7 Socket 775. Got these all from tigerdirect.
SO this is what I did...I put that all together. Then I took out of my old computer, my video card, DVD-RW drive, and Hard drive. I booted it up then it went to this screen that said cpu has been changed please renter cpu settings. and floppy disk fail(i didnt put the floppy disk in the new one. so i assume thats why it said fail). then it says press these buttons to do these actions. So I press f1 to continue and it takes me to the hardware monitor screen where it gives me this info...
CPU Temp: 82 degrees celcius(too high last i checked)
System fan speed = 0 rpm (0 rpm doesnt look too good, is that bad? even though the fans in there are all running)
+3.3 v = 3.32v
+12 v = 11.77v
cpu fan speed = 2250 rpm
cpu vcore = 1.20v
+5(v) = 5.18v
So thats the info it gives me, then it doesn't go anywhere after that. I have to turn off the computer after that. SO I'm guessing my CPU is overheating because a fan is not doing too great in there. but the thing im worried about is what to do to fix the cpu problems(the changing the cpu info). I put in the OS disk to reformat the hard drive and it wouldnt even spin up. So what do you suggest i do? other than buy a better fan?
