Took all memory out and tried, nothink, took out graphics card and put in standard port, nothikn, took out processor and fan cleaned them put back in and nothink, the nsuddenly i smelt buring, shut down took out graphics card wucikly looked at motherboard and there burning on it. burnt chips, why this has happened i just dont know..

Now i have no money due to being unemployed i cant use this PC and my wife is a bitch she wont lend me a penny... so this PC is down for a while now.
Seems to me things alway happens at the wrong time, last Xmas i had prob with PC, now again i have probs with PC..

No go on my other PC even tho i put my graphics card in from one that packed up, i di a test and it says the following.

well i wont be buying new patrts for a while yet , i dont even have cash to buy my kids chrismas pressies yet this year.

Even if this older PC worked i boubt i be using it much as it keeps vibrating for some reason and ive checked every think is screwed down, and still vibrates... But looks like i wont be playing cod 4 dfor a long while now.. going to miss ya guys on the servers, jumping and having fun, but i keep an eye open on whats happening in the forum.

CoD2 jumps, highly unlikely, unless it's a tiny jump.

Ordered new MotherBoard and Processor today (Both the same as i had in my system ordered the processor to be on the safe side..

Should have them here within 2-3 days, and back to a hopefully working PC, so if im back up and running i can get to check out Atze new Demos and Jumps..

And i spoke to my kids and they said to me to get my PC fixed as my kids are understanding, and knows they alway get stuff brought for them when they want it, so i have kids that understand, but can also be a darn pain in the ass.lol

MotherBoard & Processor only cost me Â£55 inc P+P

will buy better upgrades next year..

Got new MotherBoard & Processor today, guess fuxking what, Wrong Processor type, and Airs.com had no processors in stock i would of used the old one but that has blown to by looks of things one of the pins broke off as i took it out.

I found Ebuyer with the right processor, so ive ordered one of them for tomorrow delivery. Â£28:99 inc P+P
Not sure if to return the wrong processor now or keep it and get another motherboard forthis processor later... got 48 hours to think it over, is Â£18:95 worth tha hassel in returning it.??? what ya think..???

Hopefully if right processor arrives tomorrow i might have a working PC again to play COD4, BF2, AirBorn games again..

One of the pins broke off when you took it out?

Are you sure you are just mistaking the "broken pin" for the corner section which is supposed to be missing a pin?
Breaking a process pin is extremely hard to do by taking out the processor, unless you stuck your processor down with super glue!

Nope 100% sure it broke a pin as when motherboard blow looks like it blow the processor as im 100% sure a pin came off as i took it from the motherboard, i saw a shiney little obect fall. Plus ya can see a Brown mark where the pin use to be

If you have a brown mark on your processor, it usually implies that it is fried. Smell it, does it smell burned?

Nope, and like it was a few days now since the PC blow,lol, so all smells would of gone, but i can only think if the motherboard didnt fry it ,then it might of got broken when taking it out, as it was kinda stiff getting it out, but hay i got a new one on the way now, only cost Â£28 inc P+P
