Hey,

I've had trouble from the getgo with this computer. It was damaged in shipping, and I had to replace the mother board. Then, I could not run my Athlon 2.2 GhZ processor at 2.2.. its currently at 1.1 and I cant get it any higher else the system gets too hot and shuts down. I replaced the Fan, I have gotten another Fan for my box as well, and still it will not work. Its cooler now, definatley and instead of 5 minutes at 2.2 I can now go about 20 minutes at 2.2, but its still annoying. What else can I do to get the computer up to a normal speed? Please help!

Oh, Also, I have an AMD Athlon 3300+ 2.2 Ghz Processor, 1 GB RAM, 256 MB ATI Radeon Vid Card.. and its a Socket 'A' Motherboard. (Which sucks, cause nothing goes in that anymore)

what is the temperature in your environment?
it should be no hotter than 75 degrees.

Its about 72 degrees.. was 70 in the summertime with the air conditioning. Right now the temp at half speed is 52 C (According to speedfan)

I tried with applying a new layer of thermal paste before I got the new fan, had someone else apply it who is a professional as well, and with no luck. Then I got a new fan/heatsink, applied it just how the pro did (I am not an ameture) and still no luck.

Thank you for the responses!

Damaged how exactly? Bmped? Dropped? Open Box? For as sensitive as CPUs are, they can be quite hardier than MoBo's in many regards. Do you have either a spare CPU or MoBo you can use to get some testing done?

No I dont. It was bumped. My last resource is buying a new motherboard/CPU, and I'd like to try anything I can beforehand.

It was dropped in shipping, Bumped around so bad, that the white part that connects the processor to the motherboard was ripped off, and bent the heatsink under the processor.

Maybe U need to buy a case fan

I have two case fans on my case, and the fan on the processor.

hmm i doubt its the cpu, but what i would do is feel the heatsink and see if it actually gets warm/hott, my quad shuts off at 80c since some how the waterpump fan got unpluged and wasnt pumping water, if it does get hot, open the case tighten it all the way and put like a big outside fan facing on it, it may be your gpu
