  1. So my computer died a couple of weeks ago and it had a faulty motherboard. So I bought a new motherboard but I realized that now I can't use the installation of windows on my new computer right? It's not possible to just blug in the new hard drive.
  2. Burns my fingers as soon as I press the power button
  3. This chip also gets insanely hot in the first few seconds of being turned on
  4. Yeah it was really hot and I thought it was going to give me the magic smoke?. It wouldn't be for the longest while until it cool down
  5. So I just rebuilt my computer and all the sudden I realize this mosfet on the corner of my motherboard it's extremely hot well I turn on my computer. . Does anyone know why this could be? 
  6. I have a board capable of 1333 fsb and the CPU I have is clocked at 1066. I don't know if if the CPU would ramp up to 1333 or 1600 because I have read both on the Internet. On another note I tried this mod a couple of weeks ago and it worked when I I disabled the second core but when both cores where active windows would crash before I could even sign in. I suspected it would be a power delivery issue the CPUs not getting a high enough voltage I assume. And there's some other mods out there that apparently could fix this but I don't know if it true. Like this: http://yogia.blogspot.com/2008/06/what-is-overclocking-overclocking-is.html?m=1 I looked at the Core 2 Duo datasheet and it kind of looks like it would would work but I not that knowledgeable on this topic
  7. I'm trying to get the best I can out of my old machine and im trying to physically change the fsb speed from 1066 to 1333. By tapeing or soldering the pads on the bottom of the CPU. Did anyone attempted to this or any information on thjs, or know someone I can talk to.
